Day Tripper...

A View Along The Way
 
Sometimes you need to slow down. Take time to regroup. Reevaluate. Regenerate. Yesterday was such a day.
 
It was a good day...a cleansing day. A day when I responded to a "shoulder tap". Do you know what shoulder taps are? (Here's a link that will explain better than I can.) I get them from time to time, and although I've had them since I was a young woman, I listen more carefully now.

So, Handsome and I decided to take a rainy day drive to honor my most recent shoulder tap. In the process, we accomplished a lot, but I only have this photo to share today.

Have you ever had a shoulder tap? Do you call it something else? How do you respond to it? Are you compelled to respond (as I usually am), or do you brush them aside? I'd love to know.

For Your Viewing Pleasure...

Tag and Bella - Fall At The Farmhouse
 
I've been busy cleaning my studio rooms (machine and fabric), as well as working outdoors to button things up for winter. Of course, there's still the rest of Autumn to enjoy, so I put together a little farmhouse vignette in the far corner of my kitchen garden.

I'm not going to completely pull out all the plants (and would never remove the perennials), so that there will be a place for the bees and mousies to sleep when the snow falls. Then, I saw these beautiful fall mums, and knew they had to come live with us. I'll move them to cold storage for winter, but the hay bales will stay in place until Spring.
 
The lighting was perfect to show off Bella's sleek coat and caramel-colored eyes, and Tag was happy to be in "his" light, too. I hope you like seeing a little bit of Fall at the farmhouse. It's like I'm in Heaven on earth, really.
