Rest and Relaxation

I came to the ocean to see the moon and the moon saw me.

One crazy lady out in her fluffy robe at 5:30AM just to watch the moon lower into the Pacific Ocean.  What a treat to see the full moon on a beautiful morning at the coast.

On holiday for a few days for rest and relaxation.

I hope each of you finds opportunity for rest and relaxation.

Yes, it is Thursday, but I am going to wish you ado until Monday.

Happy weekend, dear friends.

Take time to sip a cup of tea and enjoy!

At the Sea

 

 

Pure Delight!

Small Treasures

On a 95 degree day I invite a friend for tea.
As you can see there is no teapot, but a pitcher of iced tea to savor and to cool.
Cookies from the freezer to delight.

The remaining cookie after tea time is sitting on my new small treasure.

It is a small Homer Laughlin platter with blue birds.

I love Homer Laughlin as they were made in the USA.
This small treasure was found at Merci, a sweet antique shop in Jacksonville, Or.

Just so the party is complete a bouquet of hydrangeas from the garden.
A visit to delight even when the temperature is HOT.

Monday's Quotes

And the day came when the
risk to remain tight in a bud
was more painful than the risk
it took to blossom.

Cabin Chic

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monticello Antique Mall is having their Autumn show right now.
Walking into the displays I felt like I was stepping into a mountain cabin.
It was a bit rustic, cowboy boots and furs, lanterns and jugs.
Double click on each photo for a closer look.
There is a lot to see in each photo.

Seeing what is trending each season is always fun with this show.
In the Spring it was the color yellow that popped.
For Autumn it felt like cabin chic.

Another show this coming weekend.
It will be interesting to see if the trend holds true.

Stroll Through the Garden

 

 

 

 

 

The Winchester House in Ashland, Oregon
 has a garden to delight the heart.
Saturday morning before we left for home, we took a stroll here.
How delightful to sit under the canopy of sunshine, trees, umbrellas, and trellises.
Just savoring the day, taking it all in and surrounding myself with memories.
Will you join me in savoring the day.
Maybe pick up a cup of tea and a cookie too.
Now let's sit, chat, and listen to a bit of natures song.
Sing with the birds in laughter in delight.

Jacksonville - A Historic Town

 

Last week my adventure took me to Southern Oregon and the historic town of Jacksonville.
I had visited here before, but had not had the time to just wander with my camera.
What a delight it was to wander.
It so happened that it was the beginning of the village wide garage sale, so
in my wandering I enjoyed stopping by a few sales too.
Now I always say there isn't much I need, my house is full;
but I did bring one small find home with me and will share another day.
The best part of the adventure was just wandering and taking pictures.
Do you like to wander and take pictures or just create pictures in your mind?
Either way is pure DELIGHT.



During the summer months Jacksonville has a wonderful concert series in their
open air pavilion.   If you ever find yourself traveling through Southern Oregon,
for sure check out the Britt Festival schedule.  http://www.brittfest.org/
