Last dahlia of the season, right before I dug up all the bulbs for overwintering, and a big hulking geode I brought back to open with P https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5rhfBnaoa/?igshid=7ctqdpka3fs

Came home to surprise mail from Chewy. They sent me absolutely free hand painted portraits of Gus and Kismet. Guess I gotta order a bunch of stuff now because their customer service is so dang good https://www.instagram.com/p/CG5l9fqnfCH/?igshid=mrg99ft25vbw

There are worse places to be than snowed in, in a tiny mountain cabin with the love of my life. We added an extra day to our trip so that we won't have to attempt the journey home in a blizzard. We bundled up and made the trip to City Market, so we're loaded up on the essentials (Topo Chico and cake, mostly). I am going to miss the small family gathering to celebrate my grandmother's life. But I think this time here, surrounded by so much calm and beauty, is a fine way to honor her memory. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGyOsKHHm3r/?igshid=jqxggxe6qtyx

I've never lived in the same house for more than two years. Renting from my big brother gives me a sense of security I've never had before. It also means I have freedom to let my creativity run wild when it comes to projects. Ellie does the majority of the cooking around here and thought revamping the kitchen would help make it feel bigger and cleaner. What I'm saying is, please pray for us as we embark on our first Smith Sister Wives renovation project. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGp9ScFHJ6j/?igshid=16iyw1twscxnt

Juniper found this dude's tail a few months ago. Glad to know he can still come eat our jack-o-lanterns without it https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnVI0MHl46/?igshid=1450uh41v3yro

It's 100% okay if the only reason you got dressed today was to post a pic of your new #SpookyBitch hoodie that you snagged from the @redhandedthepod shop https://www.instagram.com/p/CGnUwxhnPzF/?igshid=1udsw0jrzhef0

My new splints came today! If you have any sort of connective tissue disorder, I can't recommend Zebra Splints enough. These things are super comfortable, keep my fingers from locking up, and look more like a conscious fashion choice than a medical necessity. https://www.instagram.com/p/CGiJG-unzs3/?igshid=1i9inwucgy9x2

Somehow my 90 pound dog curled up to sleep under my steering wheel, which TERRIFIED me when I came back to my car and couldn't see him https://www.instagram.com/p/CGayIZknoIf/?igshid=179otdo4rnqbo
