Bittersweet


Bittersweet is always a sign of Autumn for me. My first introduction to bittersweet was when I was a guest at someone's house over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house was a beautiful antique Cape decorated with exquisite artwork and fine antiques. 

Against the formality of the interiors and of the beautiful appointed Thanksgiving table, bittersweet draped the dining room fireplace mantle. Its simplicity was graceful and elegant. It taught me how the simplest of things, especially in nature, can be the most breathtaking.

A New Name




Considering all of the changes around here, I thought it was time to update my blog. Once again, Shari at Little Blue Deer has helped with that process. I know I say this every time, but she really is the most patient and wonderful person to work with!

The title may be a little vague and imply that we are neither here nor there (between houses so to speak)... but to me, it feels very grounding.

The content of the new blog will probably consist of many of the same things...all things house, antiques, healthy living, nature's beauty, food, and more food.

One thing is for certain though, I look forward to sharing and relishing with you the beauty and simple pleasures that this next chapter will bring.

With warmest regards,

Catherine

Wild Peaches


We picked peaches from our peach tree this morning. In pajamas and rubber boots, we made our way to the bent branches laden with golden summer fruit. 

Although peach trees are cultivated, it felt as if we were picking something wild as this tree has grown on its own volition for many years.

Its limbs are lopsided, its trunk bending, and the fruit are perfectly imperfect.




We walked away with about a dozen or so of these fabulous wild peaches.
