soul resuscitation

ahhhhhhh...

this place

it's people

and spring

in bloom

...

a few days away

for a 

deep-down 

revive

sometimes

life's simplest pleasures-

sun

food

family

are just enough

...

happy list: farm life

a collection

of the little things that have made my week

(started here)

...

i spent last week in virginia...

going back

to

that very special

place

down the tree lined drive

and to it's

people

felt like going

home

...

a very welcome happy list

during a february

that has felt

darker

than this darkest month

has ever felt before

...

hot tea

served with girl talk


linen sheets

best on a freshly made bed, after yoga and a warm bath...
crumpled perfection by morning


creamy oats and fresh berries

wholesome goodness to start the day

slivers of sunshine

spring, breaking through


clawfoot tubs

because floating
seems to be the best kind of therapy

early evening walks

beauty in the ordinary

home cooking

truly the way to a teenager's heart


found beams + wrought iron

the very best of barn living


surrogate pet snuggles

(i missed my girls)

linens on the line

misson accomplished. home safe.

road trippin': charlottesville, va

one last look back to 2012-

to our fall road trip to charlottesville...

i've been meaning and meaning to blog it forever

(that seems to happen a lot)

but couldn't find the words

so i'm just going to let the pictures do the talking

...

wine tasting . horse swooning

barn living . lounging . hugging
cooking . baking . cake making
exploring . treasure collecting
birthday celebrating
foggy morning goodbyes
...
a trip so needed
my heart still aches with gratitude
