Small Things - Last Saturday of August 2025
The days are getting shorter!

Life is not, for most of us, a pageant of splendor, but is made up of many small things, rather like an old fashioned piecework quilt. No two people have the same, but we all have our own, whether it be listening to Beethoven's fifth with a beloved friend, or seeing a neighbor at the back door with a basket of white dahlias. Or after a long, hard day, having the family say, "That was a good supper."

In no particular order, here are six things that inspired me this week.

I just discovered Kate's lovely Instagram account this week. Such a soothing place to stop and reflect.

I'm always inspired by Katie at Heart's Content Farmhouse, and since I've been decorating for autumn this week (sounds so much prettier than fall!), I enjoyed this post.

I don't usually sip hot cocoa until it gets colder, not sure why, it's just always been more of a December, winter beverage for me. But when I came across this recipe for vanilla hot cocoa this week, I was intrigued. I've got the ingredients on my grocery list. I'll let you know what I think when I make it!

Thinking of adding this to my autumn menu.  Cincinnati chili has chocolate in it and I love it!

 I love these monthly garden tasks I found on Pinterest. I saved all twelve months to my Garden board.

What a lovely post, and an even lovelier site! Going to spend more time here in the very near future!
