And just like that, it just all settles into this easy, warm glow. We are celebrating the Fall Equinox in the northern hemisphere today. Far from being just the end of summer, autumn always feels like a new beginning to me.
Everything is luminous with color and vibrancy. The sun lower in the sky but still warm and gentle. The bustle of the kiddos heading back to school and the birds enjoying the bounty of the summer season before everything lays down for a nice, quiet rest. The freshness in the air in the evening and early morning brings new energy. Always my favorite and most invigorating change of season - I hope this day is a lovely one for you too. Take a moment to smell the change in the air and listen to the birds chatter.  Happy fall equinox to you, ~Miriam more inspirationLove the idea of living with the seasons?

Today is summer solstice. "Midsommar" in Sweden. I wanted to celebrate by sharing a lovely poem by an American Pulitzer prize winning artist and author who's parents were Swedish. He lived in North Carolina and his home is now a National museum.
How do you celebrate autumn? I mean truly embrace it? Not the "holidays" but the season. We know that it's obvious to talk about pumpkins, and pumpkin spice, and then before you know it holiday decorations... BUT there is so much more you can do to truly connect with this cooler season with it's soft, low light and briskly shorter days. It's a time to celebrate beyond the standard holiday themes and hype. In fact, I would honestly say that my deepest desire is to escape much of the commercial and cultural pressure and demands that are almost impossible to escape once Labor Day hits. We've compiled a list of wonderful ideas on how do just that... ~ post continues below ~ One of our goals here at The Whiskey Porch is to provide well curated, high-quality resources to help you on your journey to creating a smaller & simpler life in your Nordic bungalow. This is my first collection in which I'm going to share some of my all-time favorites, and my focus will be books and publications here.
Let's get started:
|
 | American Bungalow Magazine www.americanbungalow.com This is an extremely high quality periodical with a subscription offering (4 publications/year) and the opportunity to purchase back issues individually. It's a great source for learning about the ins and outs of this architectural style and it's history. The articles are all very well written, and in-depth. The photography is spectacular |
and the featured properties are truly inspiring.
It is definitely oriented around the purest concept of the original bungalows, but sometimes features newer builds or remodels with a more modern aesthetic twist.
