It's been a while since I posted... Four weeks later I'm back in Finland; back home. I've been caught in a torrent of emotions ranging from sadness to happiness to fear. I'm sad to be apart from my love again; I'm happy to be home; I'm afraid of the coming autumn and the changes in my life. I hope all goes well.

Today however, my first day home, was wonderful. I had breakfast in the quiet of noon, surrounded by familiar things; my 1973 copy of Moomin Midwinter, my blue teapot with (albeit fake) flowers and Scandinavian bread and juice. I cannot tell you how much I missed familiar things and the beauty of my home. 

I'm excited about autumn. It's still warm and sunny here but I already wore a sweater and a scarf this evening on my walk. I bought some sweaters today actually, to get in my autumn mood. You can see one of them in the photos.
