“Trip Back Home”

I took so many pictures that I decided to spend a few days posting them,
a few at a time,
for my friends and family to see.
Enjoy! 

Country Girl. . . . . .


Jacob took this picture of me hanging clothes out on the line at my parent’s house.  I am wearing an apron that an 80 year old woman made.  I bought it from her at our local arts and crafts festival.  I went to the festival one morning after dropping the 4 older children off at VBS, and I had a wonderful time walking around, seeing people that I’ve known for years, stopping to TALK or to LOOK at things.

 

Time for Sunflowers!

Simple Pleasure. . . . . . .


A walk on a country road. . . .the same road that I walked as a young girl.

Are we Friends?


This is my favorite.  Caleb formed quite an attachment to the family dog, Brutus.  Here he is taking a short rest on his new friend.
 ~Safety, warmth, trust, comfort~  These are words to describe only the best of friends.

  1. So glad you are back   Glad you had a good time too!  The pic of you hanging laundry on the line looks so relaxing! I love the apron, I am always looking for pretty aprons!  It looks like the children had just as much fun as you did! 

  2. Okay, forget the email I just sent you, I really wanted to go up and see you while you were there, but I missed the window, it was too crazy of a week.  Love the picture, my fav was the first one, I would have loved walking around as well, and would have wanted an apron!!!
    I smiled when I saw your flower I took one this week as well. Your is so happy!  Very cool to see the road again, I like how you did it in b&w.
    I missed you while you were gone!
    Love, JO

  3. Welcome back!  I missed you.  I had a rough week… I’ll probably be blogging about it later.  I loved your pictures…especially Caleb with the dog.  I wish ours were a little more cuddly with Ainsley.  I can’t wait to see more pictures and to catch up with you.

  4. Welcome back! That apron you have is so neat! My daughter and I have been looking for something similar but all we keep finding are the mens big burly barbaque aprons. We want something a lil more frilly. πŸ™‚
    The pics are fantastic, I look forward to seeing more!

  5. Welcome home!  Good luck choosing just a few pics each day.  That could be a bigger challenge than unpacking all those suitcases!

  6. Welcome home! I’m so glad you’re back!  Your pictures are priceless.  I especially love the one of you hanging laundry in the apron. I am truly a country, old fashioned girl at heart and love to hang laundry outside…….to smell the fresh scent of clean clothes that have dried in the warm summer air.  I love aprons! They have so much history and meaning and they sure have saved an outfit or 50 for me!
    The other pictures…..wow, you sure have an eye for a good picture! You could probably win some serious awards with your photography skills. They are simply precious pictures!
    I hope you enjoy a wonderful day today!
    Blessings and hugs,
    Jana
