SOFT SEPTEMBER...

Have you noticed 

a softness in the air

 these last 

few days?

The shades 

have been raised 

so that the sun

can shine through...

...without 

the intense heat 

that accompanied it

 a few days ago.

A handful 

of burnished hydrangeas

 lend a touch of early fall 

to the 

parlor mantle.

A pair of shutters 

were found on a weekend shopping excursion

 and now flank the windows 

over this shelf...

...a look

I've been wanting 

for a time now 

and they, 

along with the lighted canvas 

I found at my favorite country shop,

complete another light dusting

 of autumn 

in the 

sitting room.

A shy, little

whimsy witch 

has found a new home 

on the dining room 

pie cupboard.

While the mornings are quite cool,

a warm sweater

 and a cup of hot coffee 

make the porch 

still a 

pleasant place 

to be.

An old fruit packing crate,

 released from 

dark corners and spiderwebs, 

displays assorted remnants of china,

 and seeds of a waning summer, 

on the 

dining room table.

All reminders 

that fall 

is on

 the way.

Hope you all 

have a wonderful week

 and enjoy the 

remains of summer.

...Judy...
