Long Weekend Reading 10.12
Happy long weekend! It's been a minute, huh? Fall is in full swing here and I've been busy. My brother was in town for the past couple of weeks so we did all the fall things we could while he was around: hiking, apple picking, exploring the coast... all this, plus a little too much happening personally lead to a little hiatus that wasn't intended. Now that things have calmed down, I'm looking forward to taking full advantage of my three day weekend. Today calls for rain, so I'm planning to do some fall decorating and closet-cleaning-out so I can take advantage and get outside on the other days. What are you up to? Hope it's something good!
