The days of the falling leaves are creeping their way into the forefront of our minds. Heating oil season is coming the days are moderating the nights are cool. Mark - the fella across the asphalt river says that we have moved into drought season . . . noting that we haven't had rain in like a week. . . what a stretch considering the way this summer has gone.
The Hogan's have found a house that they are really key on in Lisbon. They really need to be closer to Lorna's Nana and there are just no properties that have opened up that would be big enough for all of us. The community conversation is still ongoing and we welcome all, but we are also thinking about our sanity as the winter months are in the shadows of our minds!
It will be a time of mixed sadness and blessings. It is hard to separate, especially with those that we love so deeply, but it will also allow us all to take stock in what we have learned about ourselves and to take stock in what we have and be thankful to the Lord!
One of the things that i love about living in New England is the seasons. Just when i think that the seasons are too short i have the overwhelming feeling of anticipation for the next season. Already as i lament the passing of summer (a season this year that mimicked far too closely the calls of spring), i am looking forward to apple picking, pumpkins, deer season, sitting in the house with a hot cup of tea reading to the kids. . . arts and crafts. Why is it that autumn is the artsy season???? Already Amy is finishing off her first quilt of the season. It's great. i love autumn!!!
That's enough for now . . . i have to go fight kids into bed!! My little "not-sleepers" are lurking about.
