an august update...

i've been enjoying my time during these lazy summer days.

i cannot, CANNOT wait for fall. chilly clear night sky bonfires, cool temp camping, perfect produce for canning and jam making, knitting in preparation for winter... 

i picked up a few books this weekend, in particular american nerd, and i'm really excited to get into it. 

goodnight,

m

a cozy breakfast

here's a little of what i've been up to lately:

breakfast bread pudding with browned butter caramel sauce

i picked up this recipe via pittsburgh foods eated. on a foggy, rainy saturday morning this really, really hits the spot and makes me wish for fall. 

a happy weekend to you,

maggie

happy sunday! 

"you don't even call me by my name"

lately i've been having a little trouble getting sleep. 

i have a 3 day weekend in front of me, and i need it, let me tell you. 

a little too much weighing on my mind these days.

i remember the first time i heard band of horses. it was august 2005. i had dreadlocks and an attitude and was just leaving a serious relationship. 

with kesey asleep at my feet, i was drinking beers on my best friend's front porch; it was a perfect summer night in downtown fargo, north dakota...

bombed out and depleted...

you ever have moments where you feel completely alone in this huge world? 

maaaaaannnnn...

i... miss my boyfriend. 

aww. 

13 days? really??

"absence diminishes small loves and increases great ones, as the wind blows out the candle and blows up the bonfire."

boyfriend has been out on holiday for the past week and will remain absent until next sunday.

it's been a pretty decent holiday weekend, a bbq with friends, a lazy, slept in saturday and today, thunderstorms booming through the canyon.

i've been trying to get some projects done, but today i'm just tapped out.

i had every intention of blogging faithfully while jason has been out of town, but as you can see not much to say about much lately.

anyway, here's some of the devil makes three for your afternoon.

happy weekend,

maggie
