Traditions: Pumpkin Patch, or not?
It’s Fall in the Inland Northwest, and for those of us who live here, Fall equals a trip to Green Bluff. Green Bluff is the ultimate farming and produce area for Spokane. There are multiple farms that transform into Autumn Paradises every year, featuring everything from corn mazes to pumpkin donuts and u-pick fruit.

Traditions: October Movie Nights
As so many of my stories do, this one starts in the kitchen, where I add the final touches to our meal. We fill our bowls or plates and gather.

What I Read: April 2022 Edition
Hello, lovely readers! Well, my reading definitely slowed down in April. Before we left for our trip to Ireland (read the recap here if you missed it), I downloaded several books onto my iPad for reading on the flight.
