5 Quick Things #152 🍒
Fruit cobblers, morning routines, folksy sisters, & time is weird
Hey there,
I don’t know about you, but this first full week of August really ramped up my to-do list, which I don’t love but it is what it is. School starts in just a few weeks so I’m in full-on class prep mode, I’ve got an audio project to share with you soon and am currently scripting, and I’m still taking my fiction writing class and want to devote concentrated energy to my homework there. Phew! Pass the coffee. ☕️
Throughout my day, my current audio escape (both from my responsibilities and the punishing heat) is lovely Three Pines, Quebec, where I’m completely engrossed. Have you ever read the Inspector Gamache series? I’m currently on this one — the entire audio version is fantastic.

p.s. This week I found some lovely new-to-me music: Joy & Jo, two sisters in Saskatchewan with a calming folksy vibe. Beautiful.
