Changes

So, this week I have been up to my neck in boxes.  I moved again, and you know how exhausting that can be.  It's only a temporary move until I settle.  Remember the place I told you about with the rolling hills?  Well, that's where I moved to.

There are always things that I like more and things that I like less when moving to a new place.  Here are a few.

Well, for one, I had to leave my roses behind.  Hopefully they will appreciate and care for them as much as I did.   Also, there is a rose garden in this town if I ever have a yearning to see roses.  : )

I just moved to the next town over.  It's peaceful with lots of trees and a better place for me to take pictures.

I'm closer to great shops now.  Well, that might not be such a good thing.  ; )

My home is even smaller than the last one, but I don't mind.  I'm all about simplicity as I get older.  I used to have grey countertops, which were a bit too dark for me.  Now, everything is white, which is a clean and fresh look.

I've always loved blue in the home, and since I now have white countertops, I thought blue accents would be pretty for Fall and Winter.  I found this teapot at Home Goods and just had to get it.

I thought that I would not hear the sound of the train any more when I moved, but my first night here when I was lying in bed, I heard that wonderful sound of the train whistle blowing.  I had no idea it was that close to us.   The train runs through both towns, and when I hear it, it's like music to my ears.

I have lived in small homes, medium sized homes, a big home with a large pool, and I've always made each place a comfortable and safe haven for my family.

Every house where love abides

and friendship is a guest,

Is surely home,

and home sweet home

for there the heart can rest.

Here is the first Halloween decoration I put out.  I saw this porcelain figurine at Michaels, and since Jess just got married, I thought it was so funny.

 

I didn't have internet access for a few days and really missed you.  Just a few days makes a difference in this caring and sharing world of blog land.
