H O M E

Where is HOME?
...but in your Heart.

I am blessed to be able to call two places HOME...

...last week, I ventured on my yearly jaunt up to my beloved Connecticut...

I visited with Family & Friends,

celebrated my Mom's 80th birthday with her,
ate home-cooked meals

and spent some much needed time with my two sisters,
Sharon & Louisea....

...we shopped, laughed and reminisced...
and together we strengthened our love.

I walked in ancient graveyards
(pics to come),

sat in quiet woods and enjoyed the ocean breeze

...while strolling along the sandy beaches...

I ate lobster rolls
(too many, & that added to MY rolls...)
and brought home a well-stocked supply of oyster stew
(thanks Mom!!)

I saw familiar faces,
Old friends, places almost forgotten~

ah yes...
the comforts of
H O M E...

these pics show the
Thimble Islands....

a place not too far from where I lived in Guilford, CT.

...see them off in the distance?

... folks actually live on them.

a whirlwind trip to say the least...
from Stratford to Guilford,

...Milford, Seymour and back.
then~
H O M E
again...

...back to my Blue Ridge Mountains.
quiet farm-life & fresh air.

a slower pace, a friendly wave~
front porches and gardens....

....Blessed that I can hold two places so deeply in my heart!!

Blessings from the Farm,
