Beautiful

When your mind is the clear mirror of meditative awareness, you will know that you are the outward expression of the essence of reality. ~Thich Nhat Hanh

Up among the trees

There's been a sudden reappearance of summery weather out here along the river (sunny, breezy with high's in the 80's just before Memorial Day).  I love all of the seasons but each one feels like my favorite as it rolls in; you can still feel spring in the area but it's giving way to summer quicker than a blink.  We are, however, experiencing it in a slightly different way now that we are back home and 10 feet off the ground.  We always loved the river view but we were pleasantly surprised to find ourselves in what feels a little bit like a tree house suspended among 100 year old Sycamore trees.  (Sycamores are actually not native to our area but our fellow water-lovers feel like old friends that belong here as much as the sweet Maples). :) Here are some pictures of the aerie... ;)  Look for the baby raccoon in the tree in the last picture.  He got down safely!

Hope you are enjoying beautiful weather wherever you are...

Hello again from our new space :)

Hadn't realized how long it's been since I've posted anything, but sweet days and many pictures have rolled by in the meantime. We moved back into a renovated space a year ago, after a pretty major flood came through in 2011. The new project is raising our house 6 feet so floods are a little less exciting around here. :) The best part for now is a cozy wood stove and a little more open space.

Here are some pictures (and we always love guests anytime you're in the area, fellow bloggers). :)

Last few hours of summer vacation

We're going to miss it!

Juicy bits

Squeezin' em all in while we can. :)

A bonfire every night

Such a fun week with family visiting the river. It helps to get the smores ready ahead of time so your fingers don't stick to the camera! ;)
