July has been such a busy month! I had to go back and review all my notes to remember it all… and I haven’t even posted about some of the adventures yet!

Sparklers and a campfire with friends. (July 4th weekend)

What I’m loving right now:

sunny days ☆ late sunsets ☆ taking moon photos on clear nights ☆ starting a new guided bullet journal, with lots of drawing space (my manifestation journal for the next year) ☆ colored pencils ☆ the candle I got at the Yankee Candle VillageDune Suncare The Mug Guard ☆ it’s wild catnip season

Whisker City 19in 3 ball cat scratching post from PetSmart
I got Oni a new scratching post from PetSmart. He loves it, and officially murdered the hanging wicker ball last night. He is so proud.

road trips with the SO ☆ Massachusetts ☆ exploring cool new places ☆ scenic views ☆ that carefree summer vibe ☆ outdoor concerts ☆ breweries ☆ the random stops along the way

Glacial potholes in Shelburne Falls, MA 

taking time to pet the moss ☆ rockhounding ☆ cliff hikes ☆ waterfalls ☆ sometimes ignoring the map and letting intuition guide me (only when it’s safe to do so!) ☆ that post hike cheeseburger

Visiting Bucks Falls in Starrucca, PA

    Ignoring the map and jut exploring is a great way to find new sights and experiences. Just make sure you can retrace your steps if intuition doesn’t provide a loop back to the start. I use a GPS mapping app that does not rely on mobile coverage to plot my track. If there is no coverage I may not see a map, but at last I can see the route I I took and my progress backtracking.

    What a cute photo of Oni. I can tell he is enjoying his new scratching post. That is a beautiful waterfall.
