I’ve really enjoyed keeping up this doodle calendar, it’s one of the few habits I’ve been able to maintain this year. It doesn’t take much time, and you can always catch up if you fall behind (no one will know!). I highly recommend it as it’s a fun, visual way to look back on your month. Here are my doodle calendars for April, May, June, July, and August. (The other months have more photos than this one.)
This post is also part of a monthly challenge, The Changing Seasons, Su hosts at her blog. Check it out for some amaaaazing photos, as well as other posts!

π I also love the name of your blog. One of the first things I do is check out someone’s about. I’ll be lightly stalking you!

Thank you so much! I have been wanting to create either a stop motion or some kind of info cards shuffle (like for IG) to explain “a wonderful sheep.” It really is a beautiful story and the sentiment is worthy of reminding now and again π

Another lovely post and recap of your more than busy month! π Love golden kiwis too, and would love watching you and your grandma having a go at Go-Stop. π So sorry to hear about the jet lag and the migraine, I know the latter from experience and it’s just awful. And I’m still so happy my card made it!! π
