The ginkgo trees at church have turned golden and I love seeing their leaves against the bright blue sky
My favorite roses in the garden are STILL blooming in December (welcome to Los Angeles!)
I went to a beautiful lunchtime Advent retreat on Tuesday
Daily joys: poetry & tea advent calendars, plus reading LMM‘s Christmas stories and Tolkien‘s Father Christmas letters
Christmas decorations! An annual tradition at my parents‘ house⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …has been hanging up these little felt angels (that my grandma made) in the rafters above the living room/dining room. I put them all up yesterday and it brings me SUCH joy to see them there! 3mo
DogMomIrene Beautiful roses!🌹 3mo
BarbaraJean ALSO, how did I forget to put #AuldLangSpine on my joys list this week?! It gave me so much joy to receive @Librarybelle's list and to begin adding books to my TBR and placing library holds. And I am finding so much joy in seeing everyone posting their lists and January reading plans! Thank you for facilitating that joy, @monalyisha! 3mo

Easiest bingo I ever got! Started this book over coffee this morning only to get to page 5 of the introduction to see an underline. So I flip through, and yup, I already read this 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 It is relieving to know that I at least remember read books once I start to re-read them.

TheAromaofBooks Woohoo!! 4mo

1. I finished my ballot research as best I could and dropped off my ballot on Tuesday—and got text confirmation that it‘s been received & counted!
2. Cozy reading with comfy PJs, Jack-o-lantern quilt, cinnamon pumpkin candle, and cranberry cream tea
3. Developing some writing project ideas & sharing an excerpt at my writing group today
4. A Mary Oliver poem about joy shared by a friend (link in comments) ⤵️

BarbaraJean Poem link: https://www.thenatureofthings.blog/2021/09/poetry-sunday-dont-hesitate-by-mary.h...
5. A sweet art print I ordered for my grand-niece‘s first birthday (in December)

🎶 New album today from Josh Ritter, one of my musical favorites
🙏🏼 Spiritual direction training
🎹 Contemplative piano service
🌌I live too far south to see the Aurora, but I‘ve been enjoying pics from others!
🌪️My niece weathered Hurricane Milton safely! Her birthday is today, and she & her friend decided not to cancel their reservations at Disney this week. 😳🫣 She‘s terrified of tornadoes. She slept through the hurricane 😂

dabbe 🖤🧡🖤 5mo
