Prompt: Balmy, Triplet, Cottage ~ opening lines

"It was a balmy fall day, and as I trudged up the hill through the crispy unraked leaves, I spotted a triplet of shabby cottages off in the distance just to the west that I had never noticed before, even though I took the same path to the senior's home every day."
"The eighty seven year old triplets that lived in the tiny cottage on the corner of 23rd and Balmy never got along."
"I watched from my somewhat balmy spot in the shade under the pear tree as the police broke down the door to the rickety old cottage as if it was made of cardboard and marched over the threshold in a rigid single file line like a triplet of mindless robots."
"I had never seen anyone with quite such balmy lips, and as Mrs. Krisp stepped into my cottage and informed me that her two sisters, with whom she formed a triplet, would be along shortly, I wondered if they too didn't know when to stop smearing it on."
"I peered subtely through the open window of the grey cottage where Timothy was practicing his waltzing to a tune full of omonous triplets and hoped his hands wouldn't be quite as balmy the next time we were paired together in dance class."
