Narrow Sunbeam

Tyler is making the most of the meager morning sunbeam. Close neighbors (for the first time since the apartment in Norcross) mean that sunbeam situation downstairs is limited. There is more upstairs, but he’s really waiting to see if there is a second cup of coffee for me and a little more cream for him.

(I am browsing Christmas trees. We lost ours to the flooded garage when we first arrived (it was too big for the new house anyway). It turns out that Thanksgiving is next week, so I need to get a wiggle on finding a new one.)

Trying Something New

I heard that this was called ‘fall’. The leaves are colors – not just brown.

 

We’re in Connecticut. Which is pretty wild all on it’s own, but it’s extra wild for us since we spent 22 years in Alabama and have never lived anywhere…not south.

Moving many states away from the familiar to a house you’ve never laid eyes on is also pretty wild. We’ve had several expensive surprises (also what the heck with a boiler!? Who’s idea was that?). BUT. The location is great, there are many more opportunities for Eleanor (which she is embracing in a big way), and it’s lot less dystopian up here.
