I have been on a declutter/efficiency journey for several years now.
Clutter is chaos, chaos is overwhelm, overwhelm is inefficient.
I find myself on a constant quest to eliminate “stuff” from my life.
Unimportant. Stagnated. Redundant. It’s all gotta go.

I’m never disappointed in a day of scrounging around thrift stores. It’s like the universe wants you to do it, so it rewards you with treasures – like this skirt.
It is so beautifully made – it gives me an excuse to wear a petticoat.
AND it has pockets!
And not just any pockets, ones that are obviously designed by someone who also loves pockets.
They are too well thought through to be random.

We went on an adventure…

I dig being this close to Canada.
Quebec City feels like you should have needed to get on a plane to be there.

Missing you…

Snails.

You always knew you were close to one of these shops.
Popcorn smell travels.
It’s like the official smell of QC.

I’m happy you were born!

Fall trip to the botanical gardens.

I learned that there are evergreens that are not ever – green.
This is a larch. Its needles turn this color and shed like a deciduous tree in the fall.

This is Chrystina, one of the cooler people in Maine.

I hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving…
I am thankful for you.
