weekend of rest

This past weekend was a weekend of rest.  It was so much fun to escape as a family and enjoy the each other's company without the craziness of meetings, company, or a messy house getting in the way.  

I think we drove on the most gorgeous country roads over the weekend.  I drive on them every summer, and they still capture my attention every time I'm driving on them.  I had to pull to the side of the road to take a picture of this cornfield.  The way the morning sun was hitting the cornstalks ... and the sky was just so.  Goodness.  How ridiculous do I sound! 

 Coffee and watermelon was our diet of choice.  

 There is something about water that I just love.  It has such a calming affect on me.  I can't put my finger on it, but I am definitely a water girl.  

 I found some goodies from the garden and farm market that I am beyond excited about.  Fresh produce ... yes!  (Those blueberries may already be all gone ... )  

We discovered an old mill that was made into a coffee house in the middle of nowhere.  The owners were so incredibly nice.  I could sit on their porch for hours.  

... here's to more weekends for taking it slow, realizing simple beauty, and enjoying loved ones.
