Fall Already?
Oh my God, it doesn't seem like I spent this much time away from my blog but time flies and with summer time hours and sunlight lasting longer I can't seem to get in the house. One more smell of one more flower, or one more bulb to plant keeps me outside. I'm an outside person no doubt. Oh wait, fill the bird feeders and then watch the turkeys try to get it, only to find the bear are getting it first. Well, damn if the birds were quicker they'd get it!
The front coverd porch was finished in June and I loved sitting on it this summer listening to thunder storms roll in and then the rain all around me but not on the porch. How great it was. I always wanted a covered porch and now I can't get off of it.
BUT, fall is here and all my winter prep chores are done, finally. Three walls of the house got stained, wood is done, gardens are planted and mulched, birdbath is covered, garden items are in, and yet I know I'll still have things I forgot.
Settling back to days end routines of winter darkened hours and shorter days. There is serenity about the winter hours and times. It comes with the smell of Maggie ( my 100 year old wood / gas cookstove) buring away. The smells of hickory or ash burning. MMuummm, what a great time. I slow down and finally find time to get into my stained glass work shop. (or work on my train table).
What is it about human beings that in general most of them require great amounts of socialization. Or should I say, what is it about myself that requires great amounts of homestead time, private and alone. Although, am I so different, I reach to the world through a blog?
Relationships are also such a tangle most of the time. My best friend is my dog Vinnie. He and I have made many travels around New England together. I buy my cars according to how well they fit Vinnie and myself, just incase we do a little camping in them. I no longer want to drag around the huge 28 foot camper. I find I like going light these days. I also have a great friend in my ex--- always willing to lend a helping hand. It's nice when two people can still be close and remain tight after a split.
Well, I guess I'll close this blog knowing I feel blessed with such a complete life and hope you feel the same about you're own. I guess this note had no real meaning to it but I have a good old New England sense of closure about winter prep and that it's done!
I'm sure the holiday rush will expand my frustrations and I'll vent a Christmas blog.
Be at peace and drop a note if you like.
