If I could bottle up my favorite part of the year, it would sound like heavy rain during an afternoon thunderstorm, the air heavy with droplets and one slow-rolling boom! after another.

It would smell like basil cuttings pinched off the top of a plant that’s been growing too quickly to keep up with.

It would look like the orangey-red nail polish that matches my favorite swimsuit.

It would taste like a ripe white nectarine, so perfectly floral and sinfully sweet.

It would feel as easy as a long day with no plans, meandering and letting a story take shape without any input, an adventure unfolding all on its own.

I’m Katherine, a resident of the greater New Orleans area who would live an entire year in the month of June if given the option. I’m a wife, mom of one, professional services creative marketer, and writer.

This blog is just a casual place for me to share what I’m doing, growing, cooking, thinking about — you get the drill — through the lens of savoring every season and finding the good.

I’m glad you’re here and hope you’ll stay along for the ride.
