Their was a passage through a hedge row separating my house from my best friends house. Ah, that I could go back there as a child and experience that time gain.

Lessons in Chemistry is charming, I loved it.

I wish I could go back to some of those old times, too.

I JUST finished Lessons in Chemistry. Great read!

This takes me back many years ago when I grew up in St. Louis. My maternal grandparents lived just one block from our house, and my mother and I spent much time with them. We would leave our house and cut through an alley to enter through their back garden gate. It was a large wooden gate, surrounded by greenery of all kinds. Most times, as we entered, we were greeted by their collie, Rovie. I have many, many happy memories of the time spent after entering through that gate.

I think you'll like it, Jolene. Satie is so spacey.

Loved the doors and gates. I took lots of pics like those last time I was in England. Their doors are pretty interesting. Love this time of the year, too.

I walk and look at doors and windows, or tree and flower walks, skywalks, people walks. It's fun to focus on one thing sometimes. I agree about the doors in the UK, Linda...and the hinges, too!

Read Lessons in Chemistry on my sister's recommendation. Wasn't sure what to make of it, so kept going. Fall is my favorite time of year...especially September & October in New England.

Fall is right up there for me, too, Susan.

I think there's a reason why the reserve list at the library was so very long, Pam!

I just walked through the door of Herbert Hoover's birthplace today, but not sure that counts. It truly is a tiny house, though, basically one small divided room, where a family of five lived. Always fascinated by how people lived in the past! Lovely Channel Island. photos, Kate!

It most definitely counts, Annette. I'm not sure if you know that my little family of four (2 kids and a wuzband) lived for 5 years in a 300 square foot cabin. It was tiny but also a very happy time of my life.

That's super tiny! Impressed!

That's because Kate is impressive in so many ways.
