spring tree / bev cooks

FFFFFFFFFFrudub. This is a tree in my back yard and I’m still trying to figure out how it’s even real. And it’s getting bigger and bigger and more and more vibrant each year! Which is . . . well, on par and quite expected for the whole time continuum thing. Reminds me of an old […]

spring trees / bev cooks

FRRRRRRRRRReeweedeeseelee. You do realize that the only photos I’ll be able to share with you over the next 126 weeks are nature photos? And maybe the rando shoe photo here and there. And a kid-on-a-bike or a in-a-blow-up-backyard-pool photo sprinkled in. Maybe my morning coffee on the outside patio table with a plant or a […]

tulip tree / bev cooks

FRRRRRRRRRR ew ra ho ba. (<—no idea.) I’ve been saying “crud” a lot lately. CRUD. Like when a coupon expires or when you run out of Metamucil. “Well crud!” Actually, it started a good bit before Corona. Back in February. Who says crud, though? I mean, my mom says crud. She says dern, too. “Well […]

spring flowers / bev cooks

Frrrrrrrrroodoo. WEEK TWO. We’ve been home for two weeks. (sans two grocery store runs dressed in hazmat suits.) And you know, I think I’m starting to adjust. Everywhere I look lately I read the words “new normal” – and that’s just it. It’s a new normal, and in that there’s this odd sense of peace […]

Friiiiiiii…..day. Wow, what a week. Between school closures (for the rest of the year, omg), restaurants reduced to curbside only, and the news becoming grimmer and grimmer by the hour, the whole world just bottomed out, didn’t it? You know this already, I’m not here to magnify the negative. But I DID want to check […]

daffodil in the front yard

Fri….day. Hey. Well, it’s just impossible for me to sit here at my laptop on this eerie Friday morning and pretend to churn out goofy stories about ankle socks or nose hair clippers when the whole world is being flipped upside down like it is. It just feels fake and inappropriate today. I’ve been purposely […]

FRRRRREWERWERWERWRERday. Can we talk about guilty pleasures? Guys, I don’t think I have any! Is this sad? Reason I ask is, the other day my friend Trisha texted me about some song she loves and how it was a guilty pleasure, and I said to her, “But wait, why is it a guilty pleasure? I […]

vine in the winter / bev cooks

FRRRRRRRRRRRRRerherderpermerder! So this is the kind of stuff I think about. You’re like, here we go. Have you ever noticed how any business offices you call – no matter if it’s the doctor’s office, home improvement store, toenail repair shop – EVERYONE’S MENU HAS CHANGED? “Please listen carefully, as our menu has changed.” Why did […]

convivial plates / bev cooks

FRRRRRRRRRRRReh. Frih. Deh. Okay, I need your help! (you’re like, girl I just woke up.) I WANT to say we’ve talked about this before, many ancient moons of blogging yesterlore ago. But let’s bring it back because I need a fresh coat on it. No pun intended. Once you know what we’re talking about. I […]

pink and white flowers / bev cooks

Fralemtime’s Fray! (just kidding don’t delete me from your life.) OKAY. (you’re like, oh no.) I want to ask you something serious, and I need to you mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for it. It’s a big ask. Your answer will violently stir and rumble your soul in a way you didn’t think possible. Here […]
