Settling In

Pin It The old routines are returning and I am settling in.  Early morning walks on familiar trails,

time for breaks in the afternoon

and watching the gorgeous sunsets each evening.

The air has a nip to it.....I think we are in for an early autumn.  It is sad to watch as the warm days of summer come to an end but I do love crisp cool mornings and watching the leaves turn....and yes some of them are turning already.  I look forward to bundling up in sweaters, sipping hot chocolate and curling up under a quilt with my knitting though.....autumn has always been one of my favorite seasons.  I have lots to do yet before I can enjoy these activities so I best get the day started.  Some shopping, laundry, gardening and dehydrating are on my to-do list.  I hope the day brings you much joy.

I'm Home

Pin It I'm home.  Two words that I have been wanting to say all summer.  I had to snap this picture ... it represents my first step on our old homestead after months of being away.

All the travelling I have had to do, all the worry and stress is over.  My good news is .....

I am now officially an American citizen.

I am reacquainting myself with my surroundings which are all too familiar and at the same time, all so strange.  

My dear hubby held down the fort well in my absence and I have much to show you...like his attempt at gardening...which still makes me chuckle.  Unfortunately there will not be any of our canned garden goodies this winter but I will hit the local farmer's market to stock our pantry.  I swear my dear husband moved every single item in every single cupboard in the house around and I cannot for the life of me find anything...but it doesn't matter....I am home and I will slowly work my way through it all.  It's good to be back.
