Slowing down, easing up

The rain, so they say, will be with us until Wednesday when it might turn cold enough to become snow showers. The sun will return on Thursday, but the warm temperatures will leave with the rain. I’m sorry to have missed out on the beautiful-weather activities I could have been engaged in over the past few days. A hike in at a nearby state park. A last bike ride until next spring. The never-ending garden chores. That’s life. Sometimes rest and taking care of oneself is the order of the day. Or days in this case.
Time out

I have been remiss in the area of gratitude lately. Over the past several weeks some wonderful fellow bloggers have nominated me for various awards. Please accept my sincere thanks for the honors you have bestowed upon me, and my apologies for waiting so long (in some cases) to acknowledge the awards.
Abstractions and contemplations

It was timely in that I’ve been playing with fire lately, and turning it into abstract photos. (If you didn’t click on that link and go see Belen’s abstract twirls, go do so now. They’re beautiful. We’ll wait for you. I promise.) Read the rest of this entry »

It wasn’t filled with travel, big adventures, or anything of an exotic nature. Instead, it was a weekend at home getting caught up with the laundry, the housework, the Big Decluttering Project, and working outside in the garden.
