Looking Out the Window

There is nothing prettier than autumn in upstate NY. In another week or so the colors will be gone. The trees will be bare and the ground covered with a carpet of gold. It has been a beautiful weekend, brisk and sunny, with plenty of color. Maybe by the end of the week there will be enough leaves on the ground for the kids to rake up and jump in.

On Saturday afternoon Rachel and I took an hour or so to wrap my mother's china and depression glass in newspaper and pack it into boxes. Her china cabinet is now standing in the corner of my former dining room waiting to be refilled. The move has begun.

  1. I am glad you have good weather, and falling leaves are so soothing to watch. Fingers crossed for a smooth move.

  2. Is this move a permanent one? Are you doing it in sections? You are in my thoughts and prayers as the process begins.
