    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier August 16, 2025August 16, 2025

    As I am writing this, it is a drizzly, quiet late morning here at the cabin. The day started out with quite a surprise~ a big black bear wandered into our yard. Finn’s protective instincts kicked in immediately as his deep, fierce barking sent the bear running off in a hurry. Thankfully, our big white…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier July 12, 2025July 12, 2025

    Happy Saturday! As I write this, it’s a beautiful morning here in Pinetop, Arizona. While our afternoons have been warmer than usual, the mornings and evenings still cool down to the perfectly enjoyable temperatures. Each time I sit down to write this post, I’m amazed that another week has already flown by. But taking a…

    A Meaningful Memorial Day: Tablescapes, Decor and Delicious Inspiration

    ByMary Crozier May 21, 2025May 21, 2025

    Memorial Day is just around the corner! This holiday conjures up so many beginning-of-summer memories for me. Growing up in Connecticut, the end of May marked the start of better, warmer weather with longer days, a fashion thumbs up to wear white, our town’s Memorial Day parade and the end of school. Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer, but more importantly, it’s a day of remembrance—for honoring those who gave their lives in service to our country. Whether you’re hosting a backyard gathering, a picnic, or a dinner at home, incorporating thoughtful, patriotic details into your tablescape, decor, and food can help set the tone for a day that’s both celebratory and respectful. Tablescape Ideas:…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier September 27, 2024September 28, 2024

    Mother Nature is a bit of a tease. Last week, we had beautiful cooler temperatures and a taste of Fall. This week, we are experiencing high heat warnings and are back into the triple digits. Mother Nature is always in control. In spite of the sweltering heat, it is officially the fall season so sometime…

    Saturday Meanderings

    ByMary Crozier May 17, 2024May 17, 2024

    Happy Saturday from the White Mountains of Arizona! It’s been a few months since we have visited our cabin and no surprise to find cobwebs, lots of yard debris and a tankless water heater that is providing cold water only. Home ownership~a blessing and a curse. This is Finn’s first trip here and he is…
