September Song
“In them? I have been all through them, top to bottom, basement to attic. While others play golf or go fishing on their weekends I go house-hunting.
For the class of estates I get shown you do not just walk into the agent’s office from off the street. Meg—my wife—says, “Pinnacle Realty? I have a call for you from Mr. Joseph Preston. He will be right with you. Mr. Preston, sir, your party is on the line. The green button.”
She hands me the phone.
I say, “Next weekend? No, afraid not. I must be in... Bermuda for a conference then. The following weekend? Let me just check my calendar. Yes. That will be fine. Miss St. Johnsbury, will you set up the appointment, please?”
“What sort of property are you interested in, Mr. Preston?”
“Quiet.”
“Period or modern?”
“As long as it’s quiet.”
My favorite seasons for house-hunting are when the apple trees are in blossom and when the leaves change color. Whoever has not seen New England in the fall has missed one of life’s beauties.MoreLess
