warmth

I love the smell of the crisp air this time of year, it seems so clean and refreshing.  Snow on the ground and fire in the pit, warm apple cider with friends - glorious days!

If I make myself sit still, light a candle, breathe in deep, I smell the aroma and it puts me at ease.  I feel the warmth of the flame and the longer I stare I feel myself drawn in, deep into the melted wax and trapped like the bubble of air, unable to move, unable to fret.  Only able to relax and breathe.  Protected, safe.

A carpet of color

As we drove away from our white water rafting, we noticed a hill covered in flowers and since there was also a dirt road up leading up the hill we went closer for a peek.

This stop was not planned, it was purely spur of the moment.  Do you allow yourself to get distracted like that?

A sea of flowers holding hands making a colorful carpet.

A blanket of comfort!

Have you ever seen a cemetery literally covered in flowers?  We had not.  I would love to have a final resting place like this one.  Unexpected beauty on a hill amongst miles of green.

So magical and peaceful!

The flowers stuck out their tongues as I caressed them into poses.

Even that little patch of green you see, if you stepped closer you would find flowers beneath the tall grasses.

(Looking down towards the main the road.)

There were also lilacs and azalea.  It's truly like God smiled on the place.

Wild phlox?  So tiny, so delicate, yet so many the air was filled with fragrance.

This fabulous place of solitude commanded our attention and we’re so glad we stopped for a closer look.
