A Glance Back at Hawthorne

We always hit the ground running when we return to Seattle from the Hudson Valley, so it is fun to look back and remember the stay.  The above image from a few Octobers ago (before the front door was painted green) as I forgot to snap a photo right when we got there of the trees surrounding the house.  By the time we left, the trees on both the right and the left of the house in this capture (the yellowish, reddish) were pretty much emptied of leaves.  The whole dance that occurs over the 2 weeks of them changing color and then dropping is pretty poetic. Fall color is the major theme, always, for our October visits.  Family, friends, dinners, a photo shoot or two, vintage buying, meetings in the city and a whole lot of resting up & re-energizing was on the agenda.  The house embracing us with loving arms, like it always does.  This is our 4th October stay, and over that short amount of time, the place & the house, has found a very special place in our hearts.
