A Day At The Park

We had the privilege of keeping our Sweet Pea for a whole week while her mommy went to a convention in Boston.  We spent an afternoon at the park on the Patuxent River and I got to play with the camera!

Have you ever found a heart shaped rock?  I found one for the first time!

And then I turned around, looked down, and there was another one!

It was a fun day with Sweet Pea and I can't wait to do it again!

Have you had a fun day recently?

Sunset

I took these pictures a couple of weeks ago when we were on our way home from a day trip.  All of the pictures were taken from the car so there are some poles and wires but you can still see the beauty!  The ones of the water were still taken from the car.  We were on the TJ bridge crossing the Patuxent River from Calvert county to St Marys County.  There's something magical about seeing the sun's rays!

I hope you have a beautiful Thursday!!!



A Perfect Weekend

Have you ever had one of those weekends where you were totally relaxed and stress free AND at home?  It's rare that I feel that way without going somewhere to get away from it all, but this weekend was one of those rare ocassions for me.

Sean and Erin (our son and daughter) and Shylee came down on Saturday to celebrate Michael's birthday.  We packed a picnic lunch and headed for the Patuxent River to spend the afternoon.  It was 78 degrees, breezy and low humidity.  In other words...perfect!  And there were no crowds to get in the way!
We ate, played on the playground (Michael got some quality grandpa time), walked on the beach and enjoyed each others company!

Sunday was another perfect day because I spent it in the sewing room creating and learning how to miter corners!

The Views at Sotterly

I showed you the gates at Sotterly and the flowers at Sotterly, and now I would like to show you the views at Sotterly.  Sotterly Plantation is a National Historic Landmark in St. Mary's County, Maryland.  It sits on a broad terrace overlooking the Patuxent River.  Enjoy the view!

Please bear with me as I work on a blog makeover!  I'm having the hardest time deciding what I like and what I want!  In the mean time I hope you have a truly wonderful weekend!!!

Oh, I almost forgot....I made my first treasury on Etsy!  Please check it out here and leave a comment!  Thanks for taking a peek!
