I just learned that 2026 is the National Year of Reading in the UK! Now that is an initiative this American will happily join. 😊📚📰

These are the books that have been surrounding my reading chair for the past few weeks. What's in your to-read pile?

This was today's item in my #Beatles advent calendar. "I am half of the eggman with webbed feet"?

My parents were saving for a house their first Christmas as newlyweds, so they made their own ornaments using construction paper and stickers. I thought these were long gone, but I discovered one in a Christmas decoration "box of yore." It was a happy surprise. #FamilyHistory

I took a Halloween morning #stetwalk with an old friend before the clouds rolled back in over western Massachusetts.

Today is #DictionaryDay, so I celebrate by sharing my treasured Webster's New International from 1925, when "television" wasn't an entry yet and telephones looked strikingly different. I'm told my grandmother worked for @merriam-webster.com in Springfield, MA the '20s. Not sure what she did there.

Listening to "All Together Now" on the Yellow Submarine album reminded me of a common mix-up:

✅ “Altogether” means “entirely” or "overall."

✅“All together” means “as a group.”

What other grammatical mix-ups do you encounter?

And what’s your favorite Beatles song?

It’s been a long while since I made delicata squash. Love these fall recipes.

A little fall color to close out September. #StetWalk

I’m using my old Crock Pot for the first time in years. With any luck,
I’ll have a batch of steel cut oats to enjoy with fruit and walnuts all week.
