The house when viewed from the street didn’t look extraordinary. It fit in with the rest of the homes on the street: dark brown, double front doors, long front porch accessed by four low wide steps.

El sol está brillante hoy pero está frió (the sun is shining but it is cold). Fall is in its full throes. It is too easy these fall days for a chill to creep into the bones. The season welcomes warm sweaters, jeans and somedays a nice scarf or a knit hat. Promises of frost… Continue reading Coffee in the throes of fall
