Hello, friends!
Spring is officially here...and so it's sunny & warm one day and then rainy & oh so cold the very next. I'm trying not to mind the warm weather tease, and so have been making the most of these last few sweater weather, stay-inside-and-read rainy weekend days.
This past weekend I sat down to read "Where the Crawdads Sing" and basically didn't get up until I was finished! It was definitely a 5/5 read for me and it inspired me to appreciate the nature in my backyard and sketch the specimens I've collected.
The reading, the rain ambience, and the comfort food made for the very best Sunday-- thank you so very much for being here to share it with me 💛
BIG hugs,
Morgan
For those who are curious, the sketching class I took was through eventbrite and was taught by the wonderful Liz Clayton Fuller: linktr.ee/lizclaytonfullerart

I’ve been baking a cake every Thursday in order to enjoy on Friday with your videos. My new post-work pastime/end of the week treat. Thanks so much for giving me an event to look forward to! I always feel so clam and inspired to be creative after watching.

Morgan you present life on life’s terms, which is reality, not some fake unrealistic impression some people like to put out there. Bottom line most of those are not real life. Keep the spirit and the “real” you forth coming. ❤️
The most gorgeous, relaxing vlog as usual Mo! And Where The Crawdads Sing is one of my favourite books :) x
Wow I didn’t realize until today how much I look forward to these videos. Love you and your work Morgan!

Dear Morgan, I can’t begin to tell you how much it’s meant to me to have your vlogs to watch as a peaceful counterpoint to my work, which is normally pretty difficult but has been grueling during this past pandemic year. As a therapist doing back-to-back telehealth sessions, I have felt so burned out this year. It’s literally been non-stop. You are so very talented, and I thoroughly enjoy the pacing, the music, and all of the cozy activities you do and film. I always have 3 or so books going to feed my soul, so I look forward to seeing what you are reading. I have recently begun to delve into children’s literature, a new genre for me, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read these books. Thank you again for suggesting them, for inviting us into your life and nourishing us with your kind and bright spirit!
I agree Where the crawdads sing is very amazing ... I started Wildwood and enjoying it very much... Have a good weekend
I absolutely loved Where the Crawdads Sing ❤️Thank you for the other book suggestions; have made a note x
Such a lovely spring vlog! Your use of music is so cinematic; I always forget I'm not watching a movie.
My family and I have had a pretty horrible couple of weeks and this was just the soothing balm I needed ☺ thank you for another wonderful video. Funnily enough, I'm mostly certain the first video I ever watched of yours was when you ordered Devotions online! So it made me smile to see it come back around again ☺ sending all the good vibes your way xxx
A cozy rainy reading day... sign me up! 🌦⭐️ Thank you for sharing the book titles, never enough to read. 📚

When you mentioned reading poetry last spring I couldn’t believe it’s been a year since I’ve found your channel. Your content/Patreon has given me so much joy and something to look forward to. I’ve began reading again and seeing the wonders of little things like walks and warm cups of tea all inspired by you. Thank you for another wonderful video Morgan! 💫💜

Where the crawdads sing was so wonderful!!! 🥰🥰🥰 I also was slowly reading devotions and recently I finished it and I was kinda sad to finish lol. My copy of devotions is filled with tabs and highlights and notes. I might as well have just put a tab on every page haha 🙃. Also props to you bc if I tried to read while making pancakes, they’d all be burnt. Guaranteed. 😂 thanks for all the hard work you do to provide us with these cozy and lovely videos every week! You’re truly the best. Your sunflower blanket is so cute 🥲
