Did you know today was #nationalpumpkinday ? Some people love everything pumpkin from lattes to bread.
Do you carve your pumpkin or, like me, leave it out whole through Thanksgiving?

August 31st is National Memoir Day! One of the best I’ve read was “The Glass Castle” by Jeannette Walls. Strong emotions laid bare by a daughter struggling to understand her parent’s choices even as she loved them. What’s one of the best memoirs you’ve read lately?

I know I include many #eleanorroosevelt quotes, but the lady had it figured out. She was such an amazing example of a strong woman who fought for her values. Be a fighter!

The sun and clouds after the storms were clear and clean. Then, this moon brightened up the sky. The pictures don’t do the light & colors justice. Nature is so amazing. Let’s take care of it as it does for us. 💜

Got to enjoy this jewel- #vangogh ‘s 1885 painting of “A Woman With a Spade, seen from behind.” Makes me remember a wonderful book by @joanfernandezauthor “Saving Vincent.” It’s an awesome novel about Jo Van Gogh’s struggle to continue the work of her husband, Theo, and a must read!

#cozymystery Karen C Whalen published another unputdownable cozy in “Fear in First Gear” yesterday! My favorite tow truck driver in stiletto heels, Delaney, checks a snowy road and finds a dead woman in a car. You can’t go wrong with Karen’s Tow Truck Series! Another 5 Star Cozy!

My birthday ended with a rousing dinner complete with margaritas and singing. A sombrero may have seen worn by me! Then, hubby & I watched a gorgeous moon rise. Complete day! Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful well wishes, birthday gifs & laughs. You made the day special.

There’s nothing better than sitting out on a summer night and letting your eyes adjust until you can see the stars. The whole heavens open up with twinkling lights. Take some time even in the midst of the good and the tough times to enjoy the beauty that’s always there.

Finished up “The Lions of Fifth Avenue” by @fionadavisauthor
during #tropicalstormchantal . Review coming soon. It was so good! Starting the finished version of “Love, Life & the Ketubah” by Anne Giordano. Can’t wait to read this love story again! What did you read over the holiday weekend?

Day started cloudy but a few bands have been through with heavy rain showers. Looks like we’re in for a soaker. Good day to read, write, eat and sleep! How’s your Fourth Holiday going?

It was a beautiful morning to be out early for breakfast. The river was calm, the sun was bright, and the colors were vibrant. And the heat was muted for an hour or so.

What are you doing to stay cool?
