362/366 :: Sunday 27 December 2020
a post-Christmas dusting of snow.

363/366 :: Monday 28 December 2020
I love the condensation (especially when it's frosty) on windows.

364/366 :: Tuesday 29 December 2020
you must be an adult if you ask for new sheets for Christmas.

365/366 :: Wednesday 30 December 2020
that annual reminder that my car is, in fact, not white. but also that I only shovel my driveway enough to leave so that someone else (thanks, Dad!) can plow it.

366/366 :: Thursday 31 December 2020
​and the sun sets on 2020.

349/366 :: Wednesday 16 December 2020
​Christmas baking time.

350/366 :: Thursday 17 December 2020
​after work drinks.

351/366 :: Friday 18 December 2020
because I guess if you don't know how to spell it, spell it as wrong as you can.

352/366 :: Saturday 19 December 2020
Christmas treats from my cousin (and aunt and uncle).

353/366 :: Sunday 20 December 2020
the manager at the local grocery store is often the one who delivers our groceries to the coffeehouse in the morning (and when we text him during the day if we need something else). for Christmas, he gave us each some of his favorite cookies! he's the best and does so much for the community - including cases of avocados for my favorite songwriters at their week-long retreats.

354/366 :: Monday 21 December 2020
spanning.

355/366 :: Tuesday 22 December 2020
yes, I do overpack for things, even if I'm just dogsitting for a night.

342/366 :: Wednesday 9 December 2020
​lunchtime with a chapter of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

343/366 :: Thursday 10 December 2020
catching up on podcasts + today's mail.

344/366 :: Friday 11 December 2020
you know I had to get it right away. soundtrack to the month of December for sure.

345/366 :: Saturday 12 December 2020
when you let your friends hang out at your house to do laundry and work on their finals and they leave you the sweetest drawing.

​Christmas cookie research.

348/366 :: Tuesday 15 December 2020
the start of the new year coincides with the start of a fresh bullet journal!

335/366 :: Wednesday 2 December 2020
​sunset reflection clouds.

336/366 :: Thursday 3 December 2020
I made banana bread and it kind of blends in with the deer's dress.

337/366 :: Friday 4 December 2020
look, all I do is watch the sunset right after I get home from work because there's really no other light at that point.

328/366 :: Wednesday 25 November 2020

329/366 :: Thursday 26 November 2020
​outgoing mail.

330/366 :: Friday 27 November 2020
​sunset clouds.

331/366 :: Saturday 28 November 2020
this picture doesn't actually show any of them, but working in a restaurant this year has shown me that there are so many different kinds of pennies and nickels (and obviously quarters) in circulation. honestly, mind blown.

332/366 :: Sunday 29 November 2020
I have a hard time getting rid of clothes and shoes because they just have so many memories attached to them and I feel strange admitting that but honestly I've walked so many many miles in these shoes - the hot pink ones are eight years old (they literally don't make them like this anymore) and the charcoal ones are three years old.

333/366 :: Monday 30 November 2020
one of the most fun postcards I've gotten this year!

334/366 :: Tuesday 1 December 2020
​I couldn't help but stop by the bakery on my way home from grocery shopping in Green Bay.

321/366 :: Wednesday 18 November 2020
it's just a continual battle to shorten my to-read list on Goodreads.

322/366 :: Thursday 19 November 2020
it's always a delight to get one postcard in a language other than English in the mail, but it was an extra fun surprise to get one in French and one in Swedish on the same day!

323/366 :: Friday 20 November 2020
my uncle came up from Madison and made a special delivery to me: a cedar chest that once belonged to his parents and some other family things. this book was my great-grandfather's.

324/366 :: Saturday 21 November 2020
​off-brand Ritz crackers really aren't as good as the real ones.

325/366 :: Sunday 22 November 2020
my coworkers let me leave early since it was so slow, and I took the opportunity to visit the lake (of course).

326/366 :: Monday 23 November 2020
it's a bit sweeter than my typical perfume, but I do like it.

327/366 :: Tuesday 24 November 2020
look, the ladies at the library know me.

314/366 :: Wednesday 11 November 2020

it only took eight months, but I finally got my Nest installed!

316/366 :: Friday 13 November 2020
I just really love this black and white photo from an antique store and I wonder where it was taken.

317/366 :: Saturday 14 November 2020
Pillow Thoughts IV was my favorite from the series, and I'm saving I Hope You Stay for the new year.

318/366 :: Sunday 15 November 2020
​in the evening, a lemon raspberry scone and a chai latte.

319/366 :: Monday 16 November 2020
because just when you're about to use up the last of your address labels, another charity sends you some more.

320/366 :: Tuesday 17 November 2020
​morning clouds.

307/366 :: Wednesday 4 November 2020
more lovely picture books from the library.

308/366 :: Thursday 5 November 2020
I stopped wearing my (sadly long ago discontinued) perfume back in March when I wasn't going anywhere, and I have yet to wear it daily again between working with my grandpa on the house and then working at the coffeehouse with the windows open (we were closed inside so no customers could come inside but that didn't stop the bees and I really didn't want to get stung [but I did!]). so it's always wonderful to put it on on random days now.

309/366 :: Friday 6 November 2020
always spilling things on my shoes.

310/366 :: Saturday 7 November 2020
​beautiful sunsets lately.

311/366 :: Sunday 8 November 2020

300/366 :: Wednesday 28 October 2020
​a favorite wall in my house.

301/366 :: Thursday 29 October 2020
I won't complain about taking home a scone at the end of the day. (though it's always appreciated when we sell all of them.)

302/366 :: Friday 30 October 2020
another stack of books ready to go back to the library!

303/366 :: Saturday 31 October 2020
it's always Halloween at my house.

304/366 :: Sunday 1 November 2020
still dia de los muertos, and I'm pleasantly surprised that this plant seems to actually be growing.

305/366 :: Monday 2 November 2020
I guess I'm collecting Carley Baer-illustrated Steel Bridge Creative Foundation merch.

306/366 :: Tuesday 3 November 2020
​sunrise. not the prettiest, but I did love the colors.

293/366 :: Wednesday 21 October 2020
had to get a few new books from the local bookstore. (:

294/366 :: Thursday 22 October 2020
rainy, cloudy days.

295/366 :: Friday 23 October 2020
vicious.

296/366 :: Saturday 24 October 2020
how is this plant growing so much?

297/366 :: Sunday 25 October 2020
