"For us, our house is not insentient matter—it has a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals, and solicitudes, and deep sympathies; it is of us, and we are in its confidence, and live in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. We never come home from an absence that its face does not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome—and we can not enter it unmoved."
—Mark Twain, 1896

If I didn’t know better, I would swear this to be a beautiful Fall day. The air is crisp with salt air sliding in on the back of a cool breeze, and the atmosphere exudes a mist, though I’m not certain if it is coming from the mountains or the ocean. But it is divine. I smell cedar and ash burning up from a neighbor’s fireplace, (those of you who don't live here are saying a few expletives under your breath right about now, I’m sure) and the nip in the air is telling me to put on a sweater.

Ain’t life grand!
