Right now the air smells like pine needles, warm in the sun. On the ground, an amber blanket where they’ve fallen. This last week has been glorious, October at its most beautiful.

It’s been almost two and a half months since we got the keys and slept in the living room at our new property.

Friends, I’m exhausted. I don’t think I realized how massive an endeavor this move would turn out to be.

June! Oh, June. What a magical month.
