Our home’s independence is in full summer swing, allowing us to spend more time in the yard or at the lake, reminding us that it suits her for us to leave her a bit unattended as we busy ourselves in the hosta and shade gardens or in the cool and fishy deep of the lake. But come fall, she looks to us again for
attention and warmth. While not quite ready to batten down the hatches, our autumn home begins to emit a warm glow of fall vibes, tempting us back
indoors again. And if I were to pose another question, I’d ask you if your home has grown alongside you—changed its style as you evolved.
