Summer is ending but the fall is full of possibilities.

What a summer I have had. Very full of so much. Almost a month in Maine, cool sea breezes hanging on my screen porch with the people I love most in the world. Painting and hunting for the "find" for our little shop at Chartreuse and Co. Many laughs with my dear friend Gail as we sweat or as we like to pretend..."glow" setting up our shop and helping clients. Another great sale weekend closed and new friends made. (Rita and Fran like me best Gail!) I feel so lucky to be surrounded by this creative group of ladies. Many talks, advice shared and much cackling laughter. But I know there are many friendships to grow that I will hold dear.

Bitter sweet is the goodbye to my oldest as we dropped him off at William & Mary. He has so much to look forward to, so much to learn and live. I am thrilled for his adventure to have begun.

AND I have a new tenant in my Robin nest. A beautiful turtle dove. I can't wait to see her babies!

So, I am glad to start the fall with much excitement for back-to-school, football games, crunching leaves and my new dove babies hatching.
