Marble lions stand,
Guarding the northern portal,
Venice far from home.

Marble sentinels at the north entrance of the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore in Bergamo. Thinking about the deep history and connection between Bergamo and Venice as the end of summer approaches.

I needed some fall colors to help me avoid the fact that it's at least 300 degrees outside in the Chicago area today. These are the kinds of photographs that you might get in Sunshine Club. Do you even Sunshine Club? It's what people do that are looking for a little brightness in their lives. It's a whole thing and really the only way to see it is to join today. And yes a join counts for Art-O-Thon, so there's that.

10 At The End – August 2026

Gratitude, Happenings, Observations … 

1. After a crazy June and busy July, August brought slower days and sweet joys, including celebrating my pregnant daughter at her baby shower.

2. Sunsets on the water.

3. A wonderful, relaxing getaway with my beloved friend. Spending time together was a treasure, especially since we now live in different states. I’m thankful for friendship.

4. Pesticide-free, fresh cucumbers from my lovely neighbor’s garden.

5. Desserts turned out adorable and delicious for my daughter’s baby shower.

6. My 29-yr old daughter came into town to celebrate her sister. What fun to have both of my girls together for several days!

7. August reads – stay tuned…more details on these later this week.

9. August heat in Texas is comparable to January cold in New York. I was mostly stuck indoors.

10. But thankfully, there were pleasant beach walks in coastal Carolina during our quick girls-getaway…

Tomorrow we welcome the start of the “ber” months. September, October, November and December are always special. Each brings at least one holiday and for much of America, a coziness that accompanies beautiful seasonal changes. I hope you enjoy each one of them🍂.

Thank you for reading and have a blessed Monday!
