Home!

It has been more than a week since we headed down the road for our final summer fling. Somehow the seasons transformed before our eyes from summer into fall during our week away. The weather turned colder and before our eyes the leaves began to turn. So now our Autumn begins, a bit early but with joy.

We enjoyed a birthday in the woods, a week at the river, a wedding at the farm, and even came home with a new-to-us diesel car that gets nearly 50 MPG. What a week!

The wedding, pictured below, was so inspiring that I am dreaming of getting married again (with Pete, of course). Beauty, music, humor, and good taste... Sigh. Such a magical blend.

And now? Oddly I spent all day yesterday cleaning and rearranging our house instead of unpacking bags and washing clothes. There is something about being away and then coming home with fresh eyes that makes me see all the clutter and stale spaces I've been living with for too long. And that transformation feels so good indeed.

I'll be back with a more stories and photos from our week during the coming days. Love to you all. Thanks for your patience as I made time for my family and friends.

Love,

Rachel
