Vacation

This past week I was on vacation.  It was a break from the usual routine.

A pleasant respite - a time to rest - a time to reflect - a time to enjoy the treasures of summer's first baby steps.






The interlude gifted me with lovely moments in the garden...







     long walks with two friends...








       porch sitting...








       reading a thriller...







and doing a bit of journal sketching.













As always hours fly when one is enjoying those precious days out of time.

Whatever vacation looks like for each of us; it should always mean we are restored.  I was!

Have a good week.

Hugs!

  7. Your little vacation sounds wonderful, Debbie. I wish I had two strong dogs by my side
    when talking long walks. Your pink roses are so pretty. I love my mini ones that I planted
    in the front yard, but was just telling my son this morning that I want a big bush of roses
    still. It's nice that we take a break from time to time. We come back refreshed and ready
    to go. : )
