@lifeinwinslow: By our third morning at Winslow Landing, we were starting to learn something about this place. You don’t stay a stranger for very long. It started with a note slipped beneath the door of 3B. New Neighbor in 3B, We heard you were settling in. Every fall, the residents of Winslow Landing help get the house ready for the season. We were told to meet everyone downstairs after breakfast. And, apparently, bring the dog. So down we went. The dog barely made it through the downstairs door before he was greeted like he’d lived here longer than we had. A few other dogs were already waiting for their morning walk, dressed for the weather and completely uninterested in whatever the humans had planned. Someone took his leash. Someone else waved us toward the residents’ room. And that’s when we saw it. Boxes. Everywhere. Pumpkins tucked between bundles of leaves. Plaid blankets. Lanterns. Wreaths. Garlands. Candles. Things that looked as though they had been collected over years instead of purchased all at once. Everyone already seemed to know what to do. One neighbor moved furniture. Another dug through boxes. Two women stood near the coffee laughing over donuts while supposedly helping. Then someone looked at us and said, “3B, you’re on the table.” So we started setting it. One plate at a time. Glasses lined up. Silverware straightened. Burnt-orange napkins folded into place. Pumpkins and autumn leaves worked their way down the center of the old wooden table until the whole room began to glow. By the time we finished, Winslow Landing didn’t look like the room we’d walked into that morning. It looked like fall had moved in. We were about to head back upstairs when we noticed something sitting among the candles. A card. TOMORROW EVENING 7:00 DON’T BE LATE. No explanation. Nobody would tell us what it was for. Apparently, Winslow has decided we’ll find out tomorrow. And something tells me being the new neighbor in 3B is about to get a lot more interesting. 🍂 What do you think they’re planning for 7:00? #povstories #cozyfiction #cozytok #cozyliving #CozyStorytelling
