The official, unofficial, last weekend of summer. A little sad, but not really, cause I am super pumped for fall. I have my sweaters unpacked, my knitting started, and am looking forward to eating nothing but apples and pumpkins for a while. I am ready.
Now to get through the next few days of close to 90 degree weather. (Globaly warming… you suck!)
This past week of summer has been great. We have managed to get a lot of work crap done, but also had time to do a little river hopping, have a sleep over with a few littles, and go to a family gathering. The mr, being the most bestest guy, even hand mowed out little yard so we can actually sit outside without being surrounded by 3 ft tall weeds and hay. He is so nice. We did get a chance to pick a few apples from our community garden (not sure of the variety, but they are so good!) and we played on one of the coolest,most dangerous, playgrounds around here. All in all, not a bad way to leave the summer behind.
And now it’s Sunday and I am feeling good. Going to sit around and read, knit, garden, and drink so much coffee. And best part? Tomorrow is Labor Day! Three day WEEKEND!!! so I will probably make tonight a party night and stay up past 9:30 (yes, I am an old lady) and binge watch the rest of season 1 of Playing House (fucking fantastic show) before it goes away and I don’t get a chance.
Lofty goals, but I think I can manage.
So how about you? Is this a three day weekend for you as well? Hopefully so and hopefully you are spending it doing you, and having fun, relaxing and remembering not to labor or at least not labor to hard.
Some internet stuff for you to peruse if you want.

The past few weeks, whenever the mr and I have a free couple of hours, we have been hitting the countryside, in such of the best rivers (for me to play in and for him to fly fish)
We have been to many, but this one is my new favorite. There is shade to sit in, sun to bath in, and hiking trails to hike. There are little wading pools, deep spots that are great for fishing, and lost and lots of the most amazing rock formations. And bonus, the was not a mere person in site, only a few cute little frogs.
No matter that I think I broke the bottom of my foot walking barefoot in the water and jumping hard onto a rock, or that the mr came back with a touch of poison ivy (poison something). We still both love it and are looking forward to our next trip back with shoes and long sleeves!
You got any plans this weekend? If not, I am recommending that you hit a river. Bring a book, bring a picnic, and bring a little bucket for your river treasures. Soak up the last bits of the summer, take a break from the crazy, and just go. Trust, you will be happy you did.
Every year, the second weekend in August, the Stem family , siblings, cousins, even my 94 year old grandmother makes the trip from Easton PA, come together at, what we call, “the cabin.” (It’s more a house, but it started out as a cabin) . Its a little crazy, but such a good fun time.
This cabin, oh this place is magic. The air, the tree’s the streams, the mountains, and of course the people. It’s all the things that I love about life. Some of my earliest memories are from this place. Hanging out with my siblings, running around the meadow or through the woods. Playing in the swinging holes. My grandfather pulling taffy or making orange juice box houses with my grandmother. The giant rocking chair that my uncle made and all of us kids used to play on. So many camp fires and s mores. There are just so many memories because it’s been a part of my life, my whole life. It’s one of my favorite places in the world.
A little background on the place (what I can remember) Sometime in the late 70’s, my uncle and my grandparents bought a big chunk of land on the side of a mountain in the middle of nowhere Vt. After doing some clearing of trees, they went to building a cabin. (my aunt, grandmother, and dad helped a bit too). It was amazing, but quaint. A 2 story situation with a kitchen living area and one door to get in and out. At some point my grandparent ended up selling their share to my uncle and he took over the entry of the place. Over the years my uncle, (who is a carpenter, furniture designer,design professor, and all out crazy amazing person), continured to work on the place. He has added on a kitchen, a second floor bathroom, new this, and that, but never has it once felt like a patchworker pieced together place. And now the place is more like a amazing craftsman home, with just the right touches of cabin, but with two running toilets, a beautiful kitchen, electricity and running water ( There is even internet access, which sucks, but still).It is a little gem nestled on a side of a tiny mountain in one the most beautiful places.
So an awesome cabin in the woods with a bunch of crazy, but awesome people= Stem family reunion.
Here are some pictures of the shenanigans..
This past week my dad has been in town to spend some time with the family. Besides going about my normal life, every day I have been with at least one, if not a bunch of my siblings and or father (Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!). Spending as much time as I have with them this week has made me realize how much I love them, and how crazy they are. I am happy to have spent all this time with everybody, but am very much excited to have a day to myself, because again, they are all f ing crazy.
But today is not a reclusive day.
Today is our annual Stem family reunion. We all get together, immediate and extended, at my uncles cabin, up in the sticks of Vermont and gossip, hike around, eat, and try not to drive our 94 year old grams completely cray. It’s one of the highlights of my summer.
So now, before heading out, I am trying to figure out what exactly I have for ingredients to throw together some type of peach situation… so I gots to get to that. And of course the coffee. I need the coffee, and lots of it.
Hope you folks are living up the end of summer!!!
Here is some internet fun stuff.
-This is so great I want to draw on my walls now
-The world we live in. Could Sexting Help Your Relationship?
– I love these cabins, the pictures are beautiful
-Another place I could totally live in
– Why is the world so beautiful.A theoretical physicist searches for the design behind nature’s beauty.
–These or these I can’t decide
-I love maps. Lithuanian Artist Makes Incredibly Detailed Paper Cuts Of City Maps
-Only in VT. One Vermont Ballet Group Is Mixing Dance With Cows In ‘Farm To Ballet’
And some pictures from the week
Can you believe it… August already. What the what?
I was in the great big Coscto store this week and saw Halloween costumes and I am pretty sure there was some Christmas shit too. (I wasn’t about to look to closely and fall down that rabbit hole) I mean, jeeze, It’s still summer and I like to think that I live a little more in the somewhat present moment. I have a hard time figuring out what I am going to be doing in 2 weeks, let alone 2 months from now. But man, seeing that stuff really sent me into a time whirl… It’s just flying by so fast.
Anyway, August. One of my favorite months of the year. The farm shares are gigantic (I got corn and watermelons at the last pick up!) and the garden is bursting with so many goodies. The days are still really warm, but the nights are starting to cool off, The wild flowers are in abundance all over. Plus my Dad always comes back to Vermont in August for a long visit (he;s here now!), which means lots of family stuff, a Stem family reunion, lots of hiking, and of course lots of food eating. And it’s getting close to back to school time. The littles are all getting equally exctited/depressed about the going back. I am kind of excited for them to go back too!
My goal for August.. try to check off some more of my summer bucket list and also try to buy some plane tickets to a far away land.( I hear that tickets prices this month are at the lowest they have been in years!) At the same time I want to try not to worry to much about doing a bunch of stuff.. just try to enjoy what’s left of the summer. No pressure!
So what about you? Got any end of summer plans?
I’ll leave you with some good internet stuff from the week.
-I know I have said this before, but this is the house I am meant to live in.

Let’s just say that that the mr and I had a long ass week. 7 days (and some nights) of 2 of the coolest littles. We are pretty f*ing tired, but what a fun week we had.
Our week of advetures included going to Montpelier and having a picnic/stick fight on the State building lawn. Thrift store shopping and bean and flower picking at the farm. We watched a field hockey game and picked up my sister from summer camp. There was also a lot of hiking, river wadding, and rock hunting. Watercolors and crayons have been used on a daily bases and every clean sheet was used to make a sleeping fort up in the loft. And the food. The amount of food these kids can consume is impressive. I made pancakes more this week then I have in the past year (I shit you not, Judah, the little guy, he at 9!!! in one sitting) and lets just say my toilet is inserious need of some cleaning ( 5 year old boy with no aim.. I have sat in a lot of pee)
So much fun, but today no littles. Today I shut my door, turn off my phone, and hide from the world….and catch up on that stack of paper and bills that I have been pushing aside this week. (BLAH) And maybe a few other goals; toilet cleaning, laundry, mopping (everything is dirty and sticky!) Also going to try and spend a little time with the pup. (he gets so jealous when he isn’t the center of attention) And maybe even spend a little time sitting alone, grown up drink in hand, enjoying a bit of quite time…. Maybe.
Interent stuff that I have been browsing this week (usually while the littles get tv time and watchi the disney channel.. not cool disney, annoying disney.)

-This makes my heart happy. Maddie The Coonhound
-I am all about doing this.Look Up: Wallpaper on the Ceiling

Hey there party people…It’s Sunday! Hopefully you all have some good plans for the day. Me, well I have a peanut butter and jelly lunch date at the park with some littles, a butt load of plants to stick into the ground, and hopefully drinking much to much coffee while basking in the glow of the very lovely world. (which has been on point all week with warm weather, sunny days, splashed with the perfect moments of rain) Everything is so green and lush and freshy, it’s hard to not to be full of happy and the feeling that anything is possible. It’s fantastical! Oh, and I got to give a shout out to my big sister for graduating from nursing school this week…Whoa HOO!!!!! (Does she realize she is from a family of hypochondriacs? Texting nurse Shannon……she is screwed.)
Summer here we come…It’s GO TIME!

What a week. It was my birthday, which if you know me, is not usually something I like to talk about. I’m not sure exactly why, but I am not really big on celebrating my own birthday. Or its more like I hide away from everyone around my birthday. ( I am not good with attention) But this year I tried. I had a couple little dinners with family, went on a few good hikes, gave the dog a bath (had to mention it because it was so needed and I was so happy to have a cleaner, less smelly dog..which lasted all of about 12 hours) and tried to relax and enjoy myself. The mister and I also did a bunch of little house repair projects that have been needed to be done (Birthday wish list). All and all, I had a good week. And now the birthday week is over and we can get back to normal, not bugging me, hectic, crazy, life. That makes me happy. Here are a few of my happy bits from the big week.
A birthday bouquet of veggies. My lover knows me oh so well.
I went to get myself a new skien if yarn and stumbled upon this wall display of sprinkles.. It took a lot to not buy a bunch.
Every year I buy myself some special food for my birthday week. This is the bulk section at the local coop. They got in a bunch of new local dried beans!!!! Local birthday week beans. ( yes, beans make me happy)
This hike was pretty treacherous, the whole trail was covered in this ice…. but look how cool it is.
Huggable mountains
Birthday hike with big trees and a happy dog.
Split peas with tons of purple cabbage and purple onions plus chunks or bright orange carrots.. So freaking pretty and so freaking tasty!
And last but not least..a throw back that made me smile…Moving day last summer. Our truck full of my house plants. I love my plants.
So now we go onto the last week of January! (holy crap, where has the time go?)
