This Perfectly Imperfect Life

Can you believe it's here already?! October 31st! October is over 😢 My oh my time flies when you have mono. But, Autumn isn't only October, and I mean to enjoy every last bit of it beyond today. Blessings for a safe and beautiful day! 

And the library holds just keep rolling in 😊 This was worth going out in the nasty rain for! Of course after having to climb the stairs up to the library because it is housed in a raised structure (we live in a coastal area flood zone) I was whooped, thanks to the mono, so once I got home it was time to snuggle up on the couch for a little rest & rainy day reading 💙  And speaking of rain, did I mention? Finally! It's Bean Boots weather! 💙  How was your Saturday?

D Today I’m sharing with you The Things We Wish Were True by SheReads.org co-founder Marybeth Mayhew Whalen , the SheReads.org Fall bookclub selection , and my fourth 4 star read of the year. Genre: Fiction Synopsis from publisher, Lake Union Publishing , paperback, release date September 2016: “In An Idyllic Small-Town Neighborhood, A Near Tragedy Triggers A Series Of Dark Revelations. From the outside, Sycamore Glen, North Carolina, might look like the perfect all-American neighborhood. But behind the white picket fences lies a web of secrets that reach from house to house.  Up and down the streets, neighbors quietly bear the weight of their own pasts – until an accident at the community pool upsets the delicate equilibrium. And when tragic circumstances compel a woman to return to Sycamore Glen after years of self-imposed banishment, the tangle of neighbors’ intertwined lives begins to unravel.  During the course of a sweltering summer, the long-bu...

Seriously, what are you doing down here? 👀😂 If laughter is the best medicine, Mama kitty certainly aids with my healing by making me LOL when I stretch & do a little yoga ☺️ Have you laughed out loud today?   #sillykitty #furbaby #spoonie #spoonielife #livingwithchronicpain #livingwithrheum #rawarrior #jojosmonodiaries #findjoy #simplepleasuresgreatestjoy #myperfectlyimperfectview #thisperfectlyimperfectlife

Good morning & happy Wednesday! (It is Wednesday, right? With mono brain, and October flying by, it's hard to keep track anymore!) What we have here is a new weeping cherry, to replace the one that died last year, just planted in the front side yard late yesterday. Being in an awful drought, and under water restrictions, it's going to take a lot of luck for it to get what it needs now to survive winter, but I'll do my best to see that it does.* Find joy in your day no matter what! #goodmorning #morninglight #happywednesday #nofilter #weepingcherry #fallplanting #gardenwalk #falllandscape #fall #autumn #october #fingerscrossed #findjoy #jojosmonodiaries #spoonie #theperfectlyimperfecthomestead #myperfectlyimperfectview #thisperfectlyimperfectlife *Given the fact that we are in the middle of a severe drought, though not yet under water restrictions, I personally wouldn't have chosen to plant a new tree (or grass or bushes) right now, but, that's not our call.
