These days are so very very busy. I am rarely home and so today is a special treat. A cloudy, cool, rainy day to stay home and be cozy. I am looking forward to fall days. Everything seems to calm down around this time of year. Days are shorter and cooler and I always feel like my life kind of takes on a more relaxed pace. I hope this fall is no different, because I could sure use a more relaxed pace.
Lately I've been on a book-buying craze (for lack of a better term). I just can't seem to stop buying books! Cheap, beautiful, enticing BOOKS!!
"Books to the ceiling, books to the sky.
My piles of books are a mile high.
Oh, how I love them!
Oh, how I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them." -Arnold Lobel
This is only the tip of the iceberg! My house is overrun with books, and all I seem to want to do is READ!!
I just finished The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and I'm currently working on a collection of sermons by John MacArthur, C. S. Lewis' The Four Loves, A. W. Tozer's The Pursuit of God, and yesterday I found Blogging for Bliss by Tara Frey for about $7 with my AC Moore coupon!
I've also been cooking a lot of Italian food after having finished Peter Pezelli's Francesca's Kitchen. All these are highly recommended. I think I'll go have some homemade spaghetti now following Francesca's easy sauce recipe... But first I will leave you with a few paintings/sketches I've managed to do:
Don't forget to sip some tea or coffee on this cool, cozy, September Saturday... Enjoy!
