I'm sitting by the sliding door watching hummingbirds + monarchs dip in + out of the butterfly weed + cleome. Cicadas buzz + a pair of goldfinches that have stayed all summer sway on the coreopsis. The air has cooled + brushes my toes resting on the ottoman. Beauty is here + right now.
Health Nut by Jess Damuck had me with the cover. Throw in the fact that this is by the author of one of my favorite cookbooks, Salad Freak, and I know I have to read every word. I like these books so much, because they simply act as inspiration for my own creativity. This is my favorite way to cook. Intuition, seasonality + vibrant taste for the win.
Quiet Spaces by William Smalley is a prompt toward creating restful spaces. I enjoy reading his poetic language about architecture + insights into how long held spaces have made him feel over the years. I rarely read about one's connection to place + its impact on how one lives in books like these, so this one feels gentle + special.
Devotions by Mary Oliver is offering little, tender moments in our days. This is a book that I feel like I can pick up, open to any page + feel a sense of recognition + connection come into view. I've checked it out from the library more than once, and it is always a lovely returning.
Big shade.
Coffee grounds + cork.
I like calm spaces.
Summer's end(less).
Hope your weekend feels tender + spacious + that you have moments to look + feel + hear the beauty around you. Love is here.
Love,
Jane
