// Recent Reads, Finds, and Such...

The wild thing about this transitional time of the year is the heightened curiosity about whether we're going to have a good or bad winter. It's a constant. Good as in 'mild, it could be worse' weather, where we are still able to do many of our summer rituals (no boots required today... :)), or so bad that the 'why can't we have a paid snow month' to stay home with the kids' is a recurring thought in our busy minds, and sometimes out loud. What I'm really investing in and looking forward to actually... is more sleep, and eight full-bodied hours of it for starters, with enchanting dreams that take me to the beautiful and bountiful other side. Recent elevating reads, finds, and such from around the web for this our Tuesday...
