I enjoyed a merry weekend filled with new grad school friends, costumes, dance parties, and baking. I often look ahead or dwell behind instead of being present.

The candy turned out amazing! Beautiful photos. <3 I must admit that I'm a bit too lazy to make candy, but I would definitely love to try some - I have the biggest sweet tooth.

I hope you and Matt had a fun weekend! Thanks Erin. I hope you and Matt had a fun weekend! My brother gave me a lovely bike for my birthday. While it has only been a month, I've been on it nearly every day. This gorgeous fall has been a real treat for a new rider. There are few things better than biking home from an early morning at the market with a week's worth of […] show 8 comments I think that winterizing your bike commute is a great idea. I biked in rather cold/rainy conditions in Chicago (never in the snow) and it wasn’t so terrible with the proper apparel and lights for the bike.

The cold doesn’t bother me, but snow sounds scary. We’ll see how I feel in a month or two. Thanks for the motivation Erin! The cold doesn’t bother me, but snow sounds scary.

I love that hallway in the old library building here. The walls are lined with them and there is great natural light. Makes me miss them too. Thanks Terry.

I always seem to wind-up lugging the heaviest pieces of produce home from the farmers market. Heads of cabbage, melons, or bags of apples. When Nick came to visit last weekend, I was grateful for the extra set of hands — It’s squash season. We bought acorn, buttercup and butternut squash to roast for lunch, […] show 10 comments I love that fall/autumn photo…it really does get you in the mood for that tasty squash. Looks lovely.

The farmers at my local market are selling the last of their tomatoes, our basil plant is spending the night indoors for fear of frost, and the days are getting rapidly shorter. I realize that fall is already in full swing, but I hope you will humor me as I sneak in one last summer recipe.
