We’re soon approaching the peak time for optimal coziness.
Some of the trees in my neighborhood are starting to turn color.
Normally, one wouldn’t think of late August as the time for the long autumn drives people make to enjoy nature’s summer send off, but I need only look out my kitchen window to know it’s starting.
COZY MYSTERY BOOK:
I’m recommending Joanne Fluke’s Hannah Swenson Mysteries from publisher Kensington Cozies (2022).
You won’t only be savoring the reds, oranges, and golds outside your front door, but also a great mystery from a talented author who transports you from your everyday living to the sweetest of worlds.
She even adds recipes you can bake up yourself.Author:
