refreshing......

It always surprises me how a few days away, can refresh,and renew you. The beach does this for me.

 No house to clean... no meals to cook...well, not this trip anyway... just the sound of the water beating the shore.

 Spending time with the people who are the core of who I am. I wasn't ready to leave after only a few days..... but it was a quick get away after all. We got home safely...... and I quickly unpacked.....

slipped down to the garden and cut some of my beloved hydrangeas....the soft faded look of summer is best expressed by them.... I grabbed a few of my favorites....

found a soft place to land........

and continued to......

~~renew~~
