Mountain Escape
We escaped for a few days to a little cabin a couple hours away. I know some folks enjoy big and bold vacations, which is just fine. Sometimes, though, the quiet escapes are the ones that suit our hearts best.
I bring you day one:
Cranberry Picking
A local woman lives on a 1700s family farm trust locally. Their cranberry bogs were booming and she extended an invite to pick cranberries on facebook. We took her up on the offer and had a most delightful afternoon! Tractor rides, old stories, new friends and a freezer with oodles of cranberries, what a treat this day was! Now I have my eye on a wetter place on our home sweet home and planting myself a cranberry bog...
My Favorite Things.
Monday was not a good day. I'd like to forget it entirely.
Now Tuesday, I made sure it was filled with my favorite things because I really needed a good day after yesterday.
Here a few of my favorite things:
Read alouds and long walks oceanside.
Libraries, interlibrary loan and friends who recommend books.
Freshly cleaned screen porches and afternoon quiet independent reading.
