i pulled into the gravel drive around dusk last night, after supper with my family. and as i turned the key into the old lock, the one that's turned to the right for entire generations passed, i looked to my left.
and the sun was setting just to the right of the shed. and i noticed the house for the first time. really noticed it. the clean lines of the brick and the way they align so beautifully. the old apple tree in the back curving under the weight of storms, sun and age. the old shed, with its whitewashed wood and new roof.
and as i crossed the threshold into the office, i put my bags down. pablo sprinted in from the living room, followed by robert close on his heels. and i thought to myself, if i wasn't home before, if the feel of gravel under my tires and the squeal of the key wasn't enough to convince me, i am home now.

I just love when Pablo makes an appearance! :)
You live in such a lovely world :) And I absolutely adore your van- have I told you that before? You must have so many adventures in that thing!
I hope you have a really wonderful weekend!
lovely- what great photos- that VW van is amazing- and what a cute puppy!
for me, that realization of I am home now starts when I drive from the main road to my street. The park is right in front of the main row, seeing the view from always gives me that feeling of I am home now.
Have a nice weekend
So fun! I love your home and the vintage feel to it! :)
The sounds and the smell of my home greet me and I smile. There is no place I'd rather be. It is one of the things I truly appreciate.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend, Courtney!

So sweet. I was looking hard at your books to see what might inspire such amazing writing. I saw you have Blue Like Jazz! Loved that book.
Don't you love those moments when you really see things for the first time...REALLY see them? And as always, you put it all into words so wonderfully!
Hope y'all have a good weekend!
I always pull up to our little place with the girls shouting 'We're here, we're here!'.. then they bicker about who said it first... one concedes and says 'We're home, we're home'... so, there's never any doubt that I am home! Lx
