The fog across the water was delightfully thick and the ferry heavy on the horn as it crossed back and forth between islands this morning. I threw on a light jacket for our morning walk and revelled in it almost being fall! Being an October Libra, autumn is my fav time of year. Breakfast smoothies […]
[Sorry. On reread, this is a bit of a ramble but I’m posting anyway!] One of the most difficult aspects of creating for me to wrap my head around (STILL!) is that a lot of what makes a book really good – really juicy, or really buttery, or rich, or whatever your preferred descriptor – […]
