We are settling into 810 sq feet of apartment
after living in 2300 sq feet for years.
Yes we sold and donated lots but the remains
of the storage unit will be emptied early September.
With unexpected cooler temps
(I had a blanket on last night in the deck)
my thoughts are turning to Fall colours and patterns.
I’m close to done with Good Intentions:

I made several mistakes and switched
a couple colours but she’s cute!
We’ve got a family member down South waiting
results of a covid test.
They will likely find out on their birthday.
I would be surprised if it’s positive as they’ve
only left the house to go to outside church services
since March.
On a gentler note, being in the rv and living
outdoors led us to observe the changing
of nature in New Brunswick.
What a comfort to know seasons continue
their march, no matter our chaos.
The geese began to congregate early August
to chat about their trips South.
The loud honks and heavy wings beat the
hot air above us while down below
cicadas’ incessant hums filled the air.
A child was at our site when I murmured
“Those cicadas!”
He looked at me startled, “You mean that noise?” he asked.
“I thought it was the ground saying it was hot.”
I love his version ♥️♥️♥️
May you take joy in observations of the changing seasons

It has been a hot summer here in NH with more 90s this weekend. But the evenings are cool and good for sleeping. The seasons are changing with the changing light of the day. Good luck in your new apartment I am sure it will be a cozy place to wait out the winter.

Good luck with the final "purging"....I don't know that I could do what you're doing....but I also know there will come a time. Yes, times...and seasons...are a changing.... I much prefer watching the changing of the seasons than the times. And I adore the child's interpretation of the cicada's song. Your intentions look lovely indeed. Enjoy your weekend! ~Robin~
Your apartment sounds cozy and perfect for retirement. I live in a large house with an upstairs and a full basement and sometimes, I wish I live in a little apartment but I love working out in the garden and need a yard. Having three floors to clean is too much work as I age. It would take forever to get rid of all my stuff. The bigger the house the more we gather stuff.
Yes, the fall temperatures have suddenly arrived. Where has the time gone?
Your cross stitch piece is looking good.

It took a lot of purging and there’s more to come but it does feel good and light.
I do decluttering for seniors as a biz and I say “better you than them” meaning the resentful family caught unawares by a death and left with all the workš¤£
A fav pamper is to nap—window open— on a cool Fall day!
The bluejays are loud this time of year and the crows are cawing much more here in Michigan. Janice
