Fall Changes

The leaves are starting to change  ... just barely. Further north I'm sure there are more changes. Hubby and I am planning a little weekend trip to see the leaves next weekend. One of my to do items is to get him to Vermont for some true leaf peeping ... the best colors are there. Not sure if we will head north or northeast and hit more of the eastern mountains near the Vermont border. That would be best (c: I am one of the luckiest women ... my hubby is such a good man. I am happy ... and loved deeply. Life is good here in NY. I love fall. There is something so peaceful and restorative about this time of year ... my favorite time of the year. Summer hustle and bustle is over ... life settlers down to more of a routine ... and I become very reflective while enjoying the fall colors. My window view of the mountain behind us is a great place to sit and think. Great spot when it snows or in spring when the Blue Buntings come for the apple blossom season. Quiet, peaceful, relaxing. I find that sitting in front of the fireplace as well. Lights off, room quiet and the flickering flames of the fire just calling my name. Soon the nights will cool down even more and we can have the fire going ... it will be snuggle time with hubby. One of my favorite places to be. Ahh ... peaceful.

But today we are busy working on our family room in the basement. Out with the old and soon in with the new. Old carpet out ... and Tuesday new carpet in. Today is floor cleaning day for Danny and I am painting the back wall and stairs. We have a beautiful tongue and groove paneling on the other walls. Adding the furniture I have been saving from my house will be great. We've been storing it in the garage. With the cooler temps, it is time to move it indoors. Another warm and cozy place to snuggle. A corner fireplace, pub table and chairs, and sofa and recliners ... it's a kick back place to relax. But lots of work to be done the next week. Time to go ...
