Even though the temperature has been mild (in the 60’s) it’s beginning to feel like winter. The leaves have almost all fallen from the trees, and this morning it’s a brisk 38 degrees!
Fall and Spring always signal a new furniture arrangement in our kitchen. It may sound odd, but when headed towards winter I always rearrange the table and a small sideboard so that the sideboard is placed in front of the window and the table goes East-West. For Spring and Summer the sideboard is placed along the wall, so that the windows are easily opened and the table goes North-South. What started many years ago as changing the arrangement out of practicality (because the window is on the North side of the house and so that wall is very cold), has now become our family’s signal for doing other things, such as getting the house ready for the holidays, etc.
Funny how doing something for one reason winds up becoming a signal for something else entirely…
