Spending 4 days and 3 nights in a tent with my family is worth it for views like this. This is off the Gitchi-Gami Trail near Grand Marais. #teacher #writer #reader #momlife #camping
A sun-dappled view of Lake Superior is visible through trees in a variety of autumnal colors.

When you slow down on your drive home to have more time to listen to your audio book. 😊 #reading #WritingCommunity #lotr #lordoftherings #lotrnerd #fantasybooks

Fairly certain my professor planned for us to read "Carmilla" at the start of fall. Vampires? Spooky Gothic lit? Yes, please. 🧛‍♀️ #reading

Not a bad Friday when it's spent as a rainbow-haired fantasy princess. Extra bonus: connecting with my students on a fun field trip. 👸#fantasy #WritingCommunity #writer #author #fantasyfun #teacher #edusky #positivifeed

Today seemed like a great day to make some jam. 😊 This batch is made from strawberries, mulberries, and some rhubarb. #positivifeed #fallvibes #lordoftherings #homemadejam
3 glass jars filled with a dark red jam sit in front of a wooden wall hanging with the quote from Lord of the Rings: "Taters: Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew"

As leaves change from lush greens 🍃 to shades of gold🍂,
I'm reminded how beautiful it can be to let go.

Looking for something to #read with #fallvibes today? The first book in my YA urban fantasy adventure trilogy has a fair number of autumnal scenes, including a fall equinox celebration in the fae realm! #writingcommunity #fantasybooks #bookswithfallvibes

Two teenage fae run through autumn woods, a male with black feathered wings leading a female with orange butterfly-like wings. Next to this image is a quote from Finding Fae: We are surrounded by trees in the ripe stages of mid-to-late autumn, with leaves of red and gold and sunset orange. When a wind whispers through the trees, it whisks away some of the leaves from the branches, tossing them through the air until they float to the forest floor.

The wind blows through the trees 
and I can almost feel it on my skin,
the final soft caress of summer’s air
with a hint of autumn’s chill
in the lingering breeze.

It's #hobbitday every day at my house, but especially today. Any other #lotr fans out there celebrating? I'm a huge Tolkien fan! If you are, too, we should be friends. Just call me mellon! 😉 #lotrnerd #lordoftherings #tolkien
