Back Home

We’re back.

Very, very jet-lagged, trying to reenter gently, which is not so easy when there are county trucks outside trimming trees. A bit too noisy for my taste this morning.

We had the most wonderful time and I want to tell you all about it, but if I may, I’d like to wait until tomorrow. Today, I have to pay some bills and get them in the mail and wash our clothes and see to my outside plants, which survived while we were gone, but probably have a couple of days left before it really turns cold.

A life-changing journey to our favorite city. I hope you were following along on Instagram, both in my posts and in my Stories. I posted many more pictures on Stories. But, of course, I’ll share many of them with you here in the coming days.

I’m so glad we went. I have my husband to thank for that, as well as for being the best travel companion.

I missed you all!

Happy Wednesday.

Au revoir!

We’re off!

I will probably not blog while I’m gone. I tried to do that last year and I managed to do it only 2 times in 14 days.  So follow along on Instagram, where I will be posting several times a day.

Thank you for your support, my friends.

 

Much love,

Claudia

Saturday

The excitement is growing here at the cottage!

There’s lots to do between now and tomorrow, but I’m confident we have it all under control. Meanwhile, Don is taking portraits at a Fall Fair in our neighborhood for a few hours this afternoon.

We had a frost last night, and while I don’t think it was a hard frost, the morning glories look like they may be done, as well as some other tender plants. I brought the Boston Fern inside. The other porch flowers look okay so far, though some of the impatiens might be gone. I’ve decided I’m going to place them all outside the porch on benches and chairs, as it looks like it might rain enough to keep them moist while I’m gone. If they make it, great. If they don’t, I’ll be okay, as they won’t have much more time after that. There’s definitely a change in the weather around here as we head toward the end of October and the beginning of November.

All the things you have to think about – especially at this time of year!

Both Don and I got hair cuts yesterday. I got a couple of inches taken off and I’m glad I did. Last year, I didn’t have time to do that before we left and I felt that my hair looked ragged. Don took this pic after I got home.

Okay. Lots to do today. I have to get moving.

Happy Saturday.
