Thankful for rain

It was a cozy rain filled day. I was at home and it was wonderful to enjoy the grey day. I am thankful for the variety of weather. Our trees in the front are a brilliant orange---pretty against the gray --[not shown in this picture, however!]

I also love the coziness of a small table by a window. I love slow days.

Our family's old cottage destroyed

....

These are some pics of our family's old cottage on the Connecticut shore. We spent many weekends and vacations  here. The front of the cottage and the porch on the front and side were ripped off. The floor is gone.

I hadn't been there for years because I live in the South now. But that place is packed full of beautiful memories as a child! Memories are such wonderful things and I see the importance of building them!

Brookgreen Gardens in the Fall (1)

Fall is a nice time in the gardens! We had a nice day and I will be sharing a few photos over this week ;;;;;;;; ......... THere is nothing like these evergreen oak trees--one feels transported to another world ;;;;;;;;; The Statues were so enjoyable at this time of the year--loved the leaves in the water. We enjoyed some coffee and peach tea (hot) at this little spot in the gardens This is my youngest son who joined us for the day--it was pretty empty in the gardens due to Hurricane Sandy Hope to share more later in the week.
