Snow Days and Giveaways

February 10, 2022 By Cara Putman

Last week we were in the middle of what I shall light heartedly call snowmaggedon. It started Wednesday morning with rain as I drove to campus at 7:30. By 8:05 as I walked to my class, it was sleeting and by 9:30 at a break we had an inch of snow.

Fall Flowers and Novella Samplers

September 23, 2021 By Cara Putman

Yesterday the calendar flipped to Fall. The equinox where the day is balanced between day and night. Summer and Winter. Over the weekend it was 90 degrees here in Indiana. Today I need a jacket. I love the mildness of fall. The thought that we could soon be snuggled up in front of a bonfire. The smoke and rich aroma of burning wood surrounding us. There's also something about the richness of … [Read more...]
