harbingers

these sumac leaves, always joyful harbingers of the coming crisp sunny days and cool nights of autumn, also remind me that it’s time to start thinking about the holidays. each year i get one step closer to shedding the “shoulds” of holiday busyness, and spending more time in front of the fire with something aromatic simmering on the stove, the way it’s supposed to be.

    love sumac and this is gorgeous. I saw a post on facebook of a getting in the spirit advent display which was a wine rack with 24 carefully chosen bottles of wine with numbered tags. If i didn’t have to go to work 5 out of 7 days of the week I would really enjoy that by the fireplace.
