Getting Back in the Saddle

Hello Friends! What an amazing time I've had taking this much needed blog break. I can't recomend it enough. If you've been thinking of taking one yourself, I say do it! You deserve a little time off to not worry about new blog topics, taking photos, editing, writing, posting, etc. And you can get out there in the big wide world and explore, or take naps, or read books, or play with your kiddos. Whatever you choose! Here's just a few things I did during my break…

Drove to the strawberry fields where they have a self-serve honor system. LOVE!

Bought a big flat of beauties and made lots of  strawberry this and strawberry that.
Worked on one of my secret dreams.
Went to several farmers markets where I bought dozens of  tomatos and then proceeded to make tomato sandwiches everyday. I'm still not tired of them.

Finished 4 photoshoots. Yippee!
Watched the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. And The Vow. 
Flew to Spokane to go to the Farm Chicks Show! It was such a blast!
Worked in my garden and planted lots more succulents.
Organized my office and redid my inspiration board.
Went to lunch with my mom and had delicious thai food.
Read 3 books! Yes, it's true. From start to finish.

I got an early invite to preview a HUGE estate sale. Then remembered….I just bought one of these and there not exactly made for hauling stuff…but great on gas!

All in all…I just savored my free time. I don't often take breaks unless I have a reason, like a vacation with family. But this time I took one just for me.  

Thanks for sticking around my friends. I'm sure some have left and maybe new ones stopped by while I was gone. But I don't for a minute, assume everyone is on pins and needles waiting for my next post. I realize we all have busy lives and the fact that you stop by here to say hello and visit my tiny corner of the world is truly appreciated. xo, H
