Hello and Good Morning My Friends!
It feels as though we are back to summerish weather. It feels a bit closer out - maybe increased humidity, I don't know.
How was your weekend? Mine was lovely. And I have no pictures to share. Colin and Iris came over yesterday for lunch (Mailing was away for the day). Even though it was pretty warm, I had made vegetable beef soup earlier in the week and I baked corn muffins to go along with that. Iris ate a lot!! We spent some time sitting on a blanket in the yard enjoying the sun.
There was time for reading, knitting and stitching as well as grocery shopping, letter writing and some cooking. A good, balanced weekend.
The other day my in-box contained a letter from Helen Stewart (Curious Handmade) and I loved this:
I learned something very beautiful today. In French, 'bibliothèque intérieure' means your 'inner library', the invisible shelf you carry inside, filled with every story that's ever shaped you.
The books you've loved, the heartbreaks you've survived, the random quotes that stuck, the memories that built you. They all live there. Quietly reminding you of who you are and how far you've come.The 'bibliothèque intérieure' is a place of quiet reflection, where the stories of our lives reside and inform who we are.
We are already at mid-September which does not seem possible! I hope this Monday finds you at the beginning of a wonderful week.
Sounds like a wonderful weekend! It's still very warm here, though at least not humid. I would like the cooler fall weather to come back, though. Love the idea of an interior library! I worry mine is in desperate need of a good librarian, though!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a very nice weekend. It's been quite warm here (85 or so), some fog in the morning, but no rain which we all really need. I also like the idea of an interior library, although mine is in need of a good shelf cleaning and culling of old books!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely weekend, Vera! I love this quote and I really like the idea of an inner library! What a perfect thing to contemplate on a Monday morning!
