New September ’26 Calendar Wallpaper

I will give into being cliché and say: “Can you believe tomorrow is September already? Because I can’t!”

Don’t get me wrong, I love September - it’s my birthday month after all, and when the weather holds (which it does here in California - though not necessarily in my area of Italy) it can feature a very pleasant, softer summer.

But then comes October, which is still ok, except it’s the beginning of socks and coats weather.
THAT is what I don’t like, as it goes on and on and on and on and on and on….

My ideal weather is Honolulu, by the ocean: 82°F max during the day, 75°F min at night, and trade winds to keep the humidity and mosquitoes away.

Which is why September’s calendar wallpaper looks refreshing and spring-like, with this lovely bunch of chamomile daisies that I could not resist at the store.
I hope it will lift your spirits as it does mine.

Go to the link in profile @lifeoutofbounds for the free download (for all your devices) and have a wonderful September!

AUGUST ’26 FREE CALENDAR WALLPAPERS

Have you ever made home-made butter? It is so easy and so good!
Swipe the carousel to find out what you need and the 4 simple steps.

And fresh, home-made butter is featured on the new Calendar Wallpaper for August. And I can’t believe it’s already August, can you? We are already halfway through summer, when I could have summer (though maybe not quite so hot) all year round.

As always the digital wallpaper is available as a free download for all your devices through my links in profile @lifeoutofbounds

I hope you will enjoy it and have a fantastic August…. and maybe make butter (see quick recipe below).

What you need to make butter:
1) fresh, heavy whipping cream
2) electric mixer (hand held or stand up)
3) only if desired: sea salt and your favorite fresh herbs for flavoring

Steps:
1) whip the cream till it separates from the buttermilk (about 10 minutes)
2) press together the butter and remove it from the liquid (which you will filter and save for another use), and wash the butter well in iced water (3 times)
3) if desired, season it with salt (go easy on this) and/or herbs
4) make a log and wrap in cling wrap, or place it in a serving bowl, and refrigerate
😋
