Lately - Dernièrement

lots of walks in the woods

and on the beach

We were sorting through our fall woollens the other day and the kids (youngest) couldn't wait to try them on again. They bundled themselves up to go to the beach, though it was totally unnecessary!

It's wild lingonberry time! I made lots of jam over the weekend. There is nothing like freshly baked bread with (still warm) lingonberry jam! Heaven!

Making progress on S's blue sweater and just finished reading a very powerful and beautifully written book by Beth Powning.
