Simply..pools of light....

It is almost September and thoughts turn again to indoors. I've been asking myself what is so special about home that makes me so pleased to come back to it even after just a couple of days away.

One of the things I love is creating cosy, intimate pools of lamplight at dusk or bedtime.

Are your thoughts also turning to home?

Or perhaps you are anticipating Spring..

What makes your house home for you at this time of year?

Hi Freda,

heading into Spring here in Australia. The fire definitely makes the house home for me, and will still be needed in my part of Australia for some time even though the days are getting warmer.

Flowers certainly make me feel good at this time of year. There's not much in the garden, but a few sprigs of lavender or some jonquils certainly lift my heart.

Like you I always like lighting the lamps when I come home. It's comforting and allows one to start to unwind after a day's work.

I love the simplicity of the third photo. As Kondoing is bringing joy to so many, I am going to reread the first bits and start a thirty days of Kondoing for the month of September! I always love the New Beginnings feeling of the start of term, so I am going to harness that energy and get on with it! I will report back at the beginning of October!

To me, home isn't home without food that brings memories of time spent with family and friends.

Good fresh vegetables always remind me of the family vegetable garden in the summer, really good crabapple jelly and pumpkin pie reminds me of the jelly and pies my mum made from the fruit that came from the garden in the fall, and good soups and stews similarly make me think of family dinners in the winter.

Calm in a frenetic world is so reassuring Julia, and something so worth the effort it takes.

In the last day or two I've been bringing out more colourful things - pictures, towels etc. Autumn has its charms!
