Autumn On River Cove Road
It's here! The colors, the cool breezes, the falling leaves, the warm sweaters; it's really here. As I sit here in our new office (in our new house) and look out the front windows I am greeted by an old scene; one we have enjoyed for this our ninth year. What a treasure to look out large (mostly clean) new windows on a familiar scene of changing colors, falling leaves, and kids dressed in fleece as they run in the yard.
A year ago this time our earthly possessions were still packed up in boxes and stored away in self-storage units. Dinner was prepared on a small camp stove in the camper (or by Chili's) and every few days I was making a run to the gas dealer for a refill on our propane tanks (for the camper's cooking and heating).
Around this time last year Jörg and I were headed out to North Carolina for our big furniture shopping trip; two solid days of furniture shopping bliss and marriage enrichment (if you can survive building a house and two days of furniture shopping together, you can survive anything).
This year we get to rake up the leaves and play in them, and watch the colors change from the comfort of our warm, dry home. We even went apple picking and made applesauce this year.
Although it means that snow will arrive soon, the return of autumn is joy to behold and brings with it some of the most beautiful days of the year. Happy Autumn everyone.
