Papa leaves.
Taking the oldest part of his daughter's heart with him.
And Autumn moves in...
with every intention of settling for a while.
She swooshes out the scent of roses and light and airiness from our home,
and brings with her a firing furnace, pumpkin candles and spiced apple cider.
[snap!] Just like that.
Play.
The babies came to visit.
Four of them-- to spend the afternoon.
Mostly it was just a quiet
and wandering
and reading
sort of day.
We're rested up and are feeling quite ourselves, again.
What's next?

ReplyDeleteI like those "in between" days where things get a chance to equalise.

ReplyDeleteWow! Those pumpkins are huge!
How it breaks my heart to see family leave or to leave family when they live miles and miles away! I'm so glad it was a happy visit.
ReplyDeletePeaceful and restful days of quiet can be so wonderful especially as we go inward to the warm and cozy of this time of year.
