Let's go...


In the summer warmth, everything is about the outside. The front door left open to see everything that's going on out there.  All the windows at the back of the house closed and curtained to keep out the midday heat. But once it's cooled off into fall it's the opposite. The front door closed to keep out the cold and all the curtains at the back of the house opened to let in some watery sunshine and warmth.  Ah, fall! I do love it so. Sitting on the couch reading a new book and drinking scalding hot coffee to warm myself up. 

I want to go to the orchard today to pick up a bag of Pink Ladies and some cider donuts. Maybe bake a pie or crumble, just to turn on the oven and warm up the house. But these days the thought that occurs immediately following 'Let's go...' is '...probably best not to'. I've always been a homebody but this forced isolation has me dreaming of all the places I wish I could go. 

Ah, well, more coffee and back to my book.
