Dirt Road Adventures: Welcome to August
Happy Sunday, and welcome to Dirt Road Adventures! This is where we review all the exciting events behind the scenes, on the website, and the sources of inspiration I discovered online during the past week. This weekly recap ensures you don’t miss any of our adventures here at the end of our Dirt Road.
Hey Friends,
Are you feeling that it’s time for Fall decorating and Fall wardrobes? All the stores are definitely into Fall, and it makes me want to jump on board. I did already purchase a few fall pieces, and I’m sure I’ll be decorating with them in the next few weeks.
I’m also getting ready to begin sharing Fall DIY projects. It’s my favorite season next to Christmas, and I love that fall provides so many natural materials for projects. Are you ready for fall?
Health-wise, I’m doing really well right now. I had another treatment and doctor appointment on Friday, so I updated My Healing Journal.
