if my living room could talk it might say…
i am counting down the days until autumn, when you will all come back to me.
i miss you.
i am a bit envious of the back porch and patio.
but i know soon it will wish to be me when it is covered in leaves and then snow.
i do appreciate your little visits as you pass through, water a plant, pull a game from a drawer, dust the mantle, choose a book from the shelf and vacuum the rug.
as my windows reflect a different kind of light and the night air turns crisp i know that soon you will be back to play games and make music, to drink tea and hot chocolate by the fire.
i miss your laughter, your conversation and your books and papers scattered on the floor.
yes i am counting down the days.
you will be here soon.

My living rooms would be saying the same thing.

Aw, cute post. It’s so true, the outdoors becomes an extra room in the house every summer. LOL
Looking forward to Fall here, too, it’s been a brutal (but beautiful) summer.

yes, a few rooms in our house are waiting for us too! We just moved in May and know that come chillier weather, some of the inner, warmer, cozier rooms will have more of our attention. ๐

and if i could swing an outdoor kitchen my indoor kitchen would be commiserating right along with my great room. oh yeah, i have a great room! lately the boys have been turning on lights in there, to do puzzles when the setting sun drives them back inside. so i know, i can finally see it again ๐
i loved this post.
