"The Sandbag House" - got me some catching up to do, learning the story behind that name. I hope it wasn't due to recurrent flooding. (Been there, vowed not to talk about it. We survived!)
Love the ceramic looking fireplace vessel thing (yes, chiminea, or some such word for it, escapes me).
And autumn - hearth fires burning - thyme, and all the sensory wonders of the season - thanks for bringing all of it to life here! Off now to take a morning walk....soak up the last of the September sun.
