My Happy Place for the Week

This bit of manicured lawn looks like the perfect mental retreat if things get wacky this week. A perfect place to layout a blanket and take an open air nap. For the more active a perfect setting for a game of badminton or even of hide and seek. Lots of hiding spots in the gorgeous surrounding foliage.

My Happy Place for the Week: A Meadow

I'd like to be out in a meadow soaking up sunshine and listening to nature. Just sitting in grass warmed by the sun and maybe searching out some wild flowers to bring home and put in a jar. That's where my mind will wander when things get tough this week.

This Week's Happy Place is...

two chairs and a table in a yard with fruit trees. This looks like summer bliss to me. Okay, work week here I come but I'm really hanging out her.

And This Weeks Happy Place Is...

... a stoop. Sometimes the nicest thing to do is just sit on some steps and watch what goes by. Steps are great place to hang out when you don't want to be inside, but you also don't want to really venture out. Add a cup of tea, a nice pot of plants and a friend and you're set. I especially wouldn't mind stoop sitting on these stairs.
