September is such a bountiful season, it's easy to

September is such a bountiful season, it's easy to find joy in the color of an apple, the growth of a pumpkin, the light shifting to autumn golds, the fragrance of drying herbs or something simmering on a stovetop. One of my favorite local places to pick apples is Milburn Orchards, in Elkton, MD, especially their exclusive Orange Honey variety! If you haven't tried them, I recommend it!

Today is Roald Dahl Day so I couldn't resist shari

Today is Roald Dahl Day so I couldn't resist sharing Matilda, a bonafide classic! His books still resonate with so many children today and especially Matilda. As an impassioned lifetime reader and former librarian, it's impossible to not relate to her love of reading and the magical power it brings her. Which was your favorite?

The gorgeous Sapphire is the birthstone for Septem

The gorgeous Sapphire is the birthstone for September! Though they come in many colors, they are most famously known for the stunningly deep blue variety. Sapphires are known to have been worn for many different purposes: for luck and fortune during the signing of agreements especially in business, as necklaces for both wisdom and mental clarity, the blue symbolized heaven and the sky so it was also worn by healers, and as engagement rings and wedding bands to symbolize love and commitment. If you're fortunate enough to own sapphire jewelry, wear it with pride, knowing a little bit more about it's historical symbolism!

I so enjoyed writing these scenes about Sylvia's Gran's house! The home is based on an architectural style that I just love and is set in the very real neighborhood of Hances Point. If you're from Maryland, you'll certainly find plenty of familiar little locales sprinkled through The Green Man Series! Available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, @thepaletteandthepage, and @kathyscornermd. This quote is from the first book titled The Greening, but there are 3 books in total! Enjoy!

Today through September 9th are good days for plan

Today through September 9th are good days for planting seedbeds and flower gardens! Poppies, for example, do best when they go through a natural freeze/thaw cycle and share their stunning varieties of color July through October depending on the variety. If you haven't tried sowing seeds before the winter, consider giving them a try!

Wishing everyone a very happy Labor Day tomorrow!

Wishing everyone a very happy Labor Day tomorrow! It's easy to get pulled into playing catch-up on days off, but I encourage you to take some time to enjoy the little things if you can. 😊Even a brief coffee break, when you devote your energy to savor the moment, can be healing.

Don't forget to keep on top of your herbs in addition to your other plants! Harvesting often ensures you are getting the most nutrient-dense goodies, encourages growth, and helps you beat the pests to it (sometimes)! Keeping on top of herbs now before they wilt or bolt means you can dry or freeze them at their peak flavor to enjoy during the cold months. 😋 Yum!

Between editing Tides of Blue and creating fresh Garden Dancers I've got my hands full, but I still often catch myself wondering what other writer's lives are like. These feelings I spoke of in March of 2020 are still just as fresh today, so I hope you enjoy this visit to the blog archives with me in "Of Words & Books..." – link in bio!

I'm really enjoying the opportunity to express the changing of the seasons with Garden Dancers! I started these in the Spring of 2021 and as things turn towards Autumn it's been so fun to make the transition to warmer hues and elements. Each Garden Dancer is a unique creation, so no two fairies are alike. Interested in having one of your very own? They are currently available at Groff's Plant Farm in Kirkwood, PA as well as @kathyscornermd Kathy's Corner Shop in North East, MD – links available via the "Garden Dancers" tab on my website, link in bio!

I'm so fortunate to have connected with shops local to me – community is everything and Maryland is my home. If you haven't yet picked up The Green Man Series, Between Earth & Sea: A Selkie Tale, or Memories of the Sea: A Brief Selkie Tale, they are available at @thepaletteandthepage via their website (link in bio). They are located in Elkton, MD and feature the work of several artists and authors in my area. I can't recommend the shop enough!

I'm hard at work editing Tides of Blue. When writing comes easy, editing can be an arduous process. Wish me luck! 😅If you're new to my work, please follow along for updates! It's the best way to keep in the know about upcoming blog entries and news.

Peridot has been long prized for it's lovely green hue. This color may be why it's been attributed to good health, harmony, and protection. If you're fortunate enough to call peridot your birthstone, I hope it brings these properties to you!

Cabbage Heads Up! 😉The next two days (August 13 & 14) are expected to be extra good days for planting your leafy green vegetables according to the Farmers Almanac. If you're not tired of gardening yet, there's plenty to do to prepare for the fall and winter. Kale and Cabbage are delightfully sweet when they mature in the cooler temps! Happy Gardening!

You won't want to miss the Perseid meteor shower t

You won't want to miss the Perseid meteor shower this year! If you're not familiar with the Perseids, they appear annually from about mid July-late August with a peak period of activity. It's a popular one to watch because at the peak there can be as many as 60+ meteors an hour! This year, the peak begins tomorrow, August 11 and continues through the 13th. Sometimes (like last year) you have to contend with a full moon, cloud coverage, etc. but fortunately the moon will be setting early in the evening, so we should have darker skies for better viewing. To learn more, I recommend earthsky.org as a general resource as well as Googling stargazing spots in your area. Good luck and happy stargazing!
