At Ramble's End, in the study, sitting by the wood stove. This is a good place. We spend a lot of evenings sitting here quietly. This has become my spot, though I do switch it up and sit next to Trevor on the couch sometimes. I've come to realise that Trevor and I are very quiet people, which would surprise a lot of people who know that I'm a chatterbox.
This is also a room full of books, which is probably why we spend so much time in here: two sets of Encyclopaedia Brittanica, all my Calvin & Hobbes, books on gardening, writing, philosophy, etc. Pipes and cigar boxes galore, along with all the accoutrements for the stove.
Today is All Souls' Day. This room has a soul. I'm thankful for what I have.
