This autumn has brought a season of change as my husband and I settle into our new home in Washington. Phase one of our renovation is now complete. The foundation has been repaired, the worn carpets are gone, and new “Vintage Pine” floors have given the upstairs rooms a warm breath of life.
On a recent trip to the Northwest, I drove past rolling hills covered with fields of sunflowers. Most were still bowed in green-budded rest, but here and there, a few early blooms had already lifted their faces to the sky.
