    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier June 13, 2026June 13, 2026

    Welcome to another edition of Saturday Meanderings. I’m writing to you from the Arizona mountains, where the weather has cool mornings (50 degrees), warmer than usual afternoons and very clear and clean air. It takes a few days for me to get acclimated to the higher altitude, but I am enjoying the peace, quiet and…

    Happy Saturday! I swear it feels like I just hit “publish” on last week’s Saturday Meanderings and somehow we’ve already arrived at Memorial Day weekend. Our best laid plans to escape to the cabin were waylaid this week. But honestly, the weather here in Phoenix has been so beautiful that I really don’t mind lingering…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier May 16, 2026May 17, 2026

    This past week was one of those full and happy stretches that began with a marvelous Mother’s Day and somehow ended with a freshly painted hen house. Funny how a week can feel quiet in the moment, yet when I meander for this post, I am reminded how much goodness fills the days here at…
