The Beginnings of Fall (or the last few weeks in reverse)



Today's afternoon walk through the woods and back to the marsh behind Cedarhaven! 








A very happy fall meal today to go with the crisp weather! 




The current stage of the (excited) refinishing and furnishing in the nursery!



(Aren't these outlet covers super cool? They are a wonderful heavy cast iron too and were a super good deal! I love how much they add to the feel of the room!)

I can't describe what a wave of happiness and anticipation this pictures sets thrilling inside me!


Emma and I making Sunday night cookies :) 


A long but rewarding Saturday of (well ventilated) renovations in the nursery. 







A quiet Friday night at home with Josh


Thursday donuts from O'Doodle Doos with my RSA students

A few quiet hours in the afternoon on Wednesday with just Josh and I and a wonderful new book.






The verses that have been playing over and over in my head this last week or so since Faith mentioned them in a phone conversation.

End of a Thursday poetry on the front porch with Josh. This was an absolutely stunning poem by Sidney Lanier entitled, The Symphony.

The armoire that providentially appeared on craigslist for a steal! It will be just perfect in the nursery! 





Beginner bows for beginner bowhold(er)s!







Kicking off the fall bonfires with the burning of a dirty old couch that was left at the house when we bought it last year.
