It seems my blog has turned into a once a month thing. While I don't mind that it has taken a seat on the back burner this Summer, I do miss sitting down and writing once or twice a week. When I started my blog it was to share the
Small Things that I do on a daily basis to create Sancuary in my home. I still partipate with Rachel Anne and other Company Girls over at
Home Sanctuary. I am encouraged on a regular basis by Rachel's posts and the comments that I read there. Like today... I stopped in for Company Girl Coffee, and I was happy to be greeted by a photo of Flash, the Donkey, just hanging out enjoying life.
Sometimes, as I have witnessed this Summer, life just seems to move along at a pace so steady that you don't have time to stop and do the things you love the most. Although this won't be the longest blog post ever, I'm taking a tip from good old Flash and Simply Live in the Moment. Or, if you'll allow it, maybe several moments. I want to share a few of my favorite pictures from this Summer so far.
Thanks for stopping in for coffee. Have a great weekend!
