Reading The Way of the Fearless Writer by Beth Kempton. I just started it, so I can’t give it a review. However, I do like thte “contemplative” nature of the process she is describing.

Eating homemade bread. I made some sourdough starter this week, but I’m baking plain yeast bread for the time being. I’m using my bread machine that has been sitting on the counter for years.

Listening to Dolly Parton’s new Rockstar album. Her covers of some classics are wonderful, especially when she teams up with some of the original artists, like Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr for “Let It Be,” Elton John for “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me,” and Lynard Skynard for “Freebird.”

Loving the cooler weather.

Creating Christmas ornaments for John and art for myself.
