Homemade apple pie with apples from a local orchard—the perfect way to celebrate the littlest member of our family. (Though to dispel the Instagram glam from this photo a little, you should know that Jordan and I bickered about technique while he made the crust, it dripped pie juices all over the oven and filled the house with smoke while it baked, and it came out of the oven so late that I’m not sure if Hollis will even get a chance to eat it tonight 😂😭). Even still, I bet it’ll taste ten times better for all the work and strife that went into it 🥧 Happy first birthday to the sweetest little guy I ever could’ve imagined. We love everything about you: the way you giggle wildly while escaping up the stairs with your brother, your wrinkle-nosed grins, the way you nestle your fluffy little head into our shoulders for snuggles…. The list could go on and on. Thanks for coming into our lives a year ago—we love you so ❤️ Took my first bite out of an apple fresh off the tree in a decade, and it was everything I’d longed for: sweet and thin-skinned and crisp and tart (in the way that almost-painfully floods your mouth with saliva). So good that Hollis spoke his first word (….he’s been saying a few other words, but this makes for a better story….), when he reached out for an apple still hanging on the branch and said, clear as day, “apple!” So good, that Jordan could taste notes of cinnamon right in the fruit, and Linden ate his weight in apples and then took small bites out of all the rest. Now we have a delicious bag full of apples sitting on our counter, and if the next photo in my feed isn’t an apple pie, I’m not doing my job 🍎 It's Friday, the air has a delightful bite to it, I'm cranking along on the sequel to my story, and all feels right with the world. Because we lived in the South for the last seven years, this will be our first fall since moving back to the northeast. I'm so excited for cold weather that I started this latest novel in the month of November. Since it's set in Maine, snow is imminent and the characters are huddling into their wooliest sweaters and bracing for the cold months to come. I love it when the weather in real life lines up with the weather in the fictional world I'm writing about--I feel that experiencing the same temperatures and environments as my characters brings a ring of authenticity to my descriptions. It makes me stop and pay attention for a moment each time I step out the door: What does the cold air against my skin really feel like? Just how painful is the tingle of my fingers unthawing after coming back inside? (This photo was snapped in Georgia, during a late fall hike). Procrastinating cleaning our house by instead making elaborate #thefloorislava obstacle courses 🍎🏆 Making solid progress on Hollis’s sweet little #strangebrewsweater. I had some leftover merino wool from a sweater I knit myself last winter, and I needed to find a pattern that would use up just the right amount of yarn for each color. The strange brew pattern let me plan my own design, so that I could incorporate both colors throughout and therefore stretch each ball of yarn a little. Fingers crossed I don’t run out of white before the sleeves are finished 🤞. Thanks to @tincanknits for the great pattern! Adventuring with the finest of folk in the wilds of Wyoming (perhaps most importantly, wearing my #tundrasweater). Thanks to @andrew_hagemann__ for the sweater photos! We’ve got a fully fledged walker over here 🥲 We're starting to see the vaguest hints of fall in this part of the country--cooler nights, crunchier leaves--and I am SO excited. This will be our first fall after almost a decade spent in the deep south, and I absolutely cannot wait for apple picking and cider and hand knit sweaters and fawn-brown boots.
