Happy Friday 10/10/25
Happy Friday! How are you? I went a little wild in the garden this week and planted 150 bulbs! That sounds like a lot. It is a lot. But tulips, daffodils, and alliums are some of the first bursts of color in early Spring, and planting them in Fall feels a little like writing a love letter to your future self :) I planted the bulbs in groups of 3, 4, and 5 all over the cottage garden and along the street. Even if we’re no longer living here by the time they bloom (fingers crossed the Hill House is livable by then!!!), I like to think those early flowers will bring a little extra joy to guests, passerby's, and neighbors after a long, gray winter. Wishing you warm socks, good soup, and a cozy Fall weekend ahead!
Some links from the week…
In awe with Arcadian Revival’s fall doors (shown above) - here’s another one they did this year.
Why leaving the leaves is better for your yard.
This week marked our middle kiddo’s 10th birthday and he requested this cake again. It’s a crowd pleaser!
The perfect pumpkin cardamom candle is back in stock!
A 102-year old yoga teacher’s simple approach to aging well. WOW! I’m so impressed.
This week we shared how we’re phasing the Hill House renovation. Doing it all at once just isn’t in the cards financially, logistically, or emotionally for us 🙃
Nana made us this turkey chili recipe this week and served it with a cast-iron cornbread skillet and dinner was a big hit!
Torn bangs are the edgy sister of curtain bangs and so flattering for Fall. I’m tempted…
Picked up this book at the library this week on a whim and I’ve been looking forward to bedtime ever since ;)
Have a good one!
