Oh, hello there! Come in, come in. The kettle is on, and I’ve just finished a batch of honey oat cookies. Let’s chat for a while, shall we?

I laid in the grass today and watched the clouds drift by. They were so slow and silent.

The breeze carried the scent of lilac through the open window while I was sweeping. I had to stop for a moment, just to breathe it in.

I passed by Miss Petal’s old campfire ring this morning and found fresh ashes. She must have stopped by during the night, left before dawn. Likely off to chase a rumor about a healing blossom near the cliffs.

Miss Willow showed me a bit of her newest embroidery. Tiny daisies stitched along the hem of a handkerchief. She said it was “just for practice” but goodness, they were lovely.

I spent the morning trying to match buttons to a cardigan. None quite fit, but now I’ve a small pile of “almosts” that look rather lovely together.

A bit of flour spilled on the counter this morning and I traced a star in it with my paw before wiping it up. Just a small ritual for good luck I picked up when I was just a pup.

I think Miss Fennel is experimenting with new flavors again. I passed her window and caught the scent of something warm, spiced, and slightly mysterious. Perhaps rhubarb?

Goodness, there's a lot to organize in the guest room! But it'll be worth it to finally have a nice tidy room again.

The guest room is...almost tidy. I over estimated the size of this chore.

Sometimes the best part of the trail isn’t the summit — it’s these hidden places.

Four from Farmoor Reservoir on 26/08/25: a juvenile Little Ringed Plover, a juvenile Little Stint, a juvenile Common Tern, and Little Egrets fighting at Pinkhill Meadow.

Goodness! Sometimes the day is so busy that I forget to write anything down in my journal!

Big, round clouds rolled in like bread dough rising in the sky. I almost expected them to smell like honey.

Okay, today I've decided to finally start tidying up the guest room. I've been putting off for far too long.

Mr. Sandbar didn’t join us at the river today. I wonder if he’s off building something in secret again. He gets that spark in his eyes when inspiration strikes.

Goodness, it's hard to believe not too long ago I was having Mr. Burrow dig my front door out of the snow because I couldn't leave my cottage!

There were just a few clouds this morning, floating like dabs of cream in a great blue bowl. I waved at one shaped like a mouse. It didn’t wave back.

Clouds today were stacked high like old books, full of weather and warnings. I brought the laundry in just in time.

Mr. Burrow is likely organizing his root cellar today. He does love his labels and tidy rows. I admire his orderliness, even if my own pantry is more... interpretive.

Late last afternoon the clouds turned gold at the edges, sunlight catching them just so. It felt like the sky had lit a candle.

Closing the work week with a sweet image - as long as this chipmunk is not in your backyard.
