- 2025: Third Quarter
Hello, darling,
We survived third quarter and have officially - at least thanks to the equinox - reached fall here in the northern hemisphere.
My favorite time of year, clearly!
I have been busily working on things and doing my best to get back into all my content creation. Book reading has been extremely busy - some of which is part of my content planning. I let myself take off some time so that I could recenter but we’re coming back to work full throttle!
What Happened Last Quarter?
July was a busy month that resulted in a lot of unexpected things. I took my first vacation since 2023 to Atlanta to see some of my friends. Ended up two weeks later with an issue with my oil pressure in Gillian.
August was a dead month because Nashville’s heat was absolutely abysmal. Oh and my Threads account was suspended and unsuspended. Yeah, that update is coming on Youtube when I have the time to sit and just film.
September sadly brought no relief, but lots of fun things…. like my original beef stew recipe! Also a gathering and early plotting for future gatherings.

Tender beef, hearty vegetables, and a broth worth soaking up with bread — a little spell for comfort, ready to share at your table. | TikTok/IG Reels/YouTube Shorts |

What's in the Cards for This Quarter?
This quarter has a lot of things coming up.
The end of this month brings the release of Florence + The Machine’s newest album - which yes as of me sending this out I have pre-ordered from The Groove here in Nashville. We’re having a little Samhain gathering/listening party for the album.
November may be a little chill, but December will be ramping up with a Yule gathering that is already in the works.
There will be some revamping of the blog. What had originally started out as my sandbox website has now turned into what will eventually be the new website. So get ready, darling, it’s going to be a busy end of 2025 around here.
