Is for finding my routine again!
It was a delightful break! Erie was, as usual, wonderful! We walked so much! In rain and shine… and I loved it! We watched the colors get more brilliant as the week went by! We had so many wildly windy days! We saw wildlife galore and I think I might have been channeling Vera with the plethora of Great Blue Herons I saw (dozens… it was so fun!) We found new places to walk as well… which always amazes me! I even managed to take a photo or two AND… I did the tiniest bit of painting! All in all it was a most needed break (although, I confess I was so happy to get home to sleep in my bed! LOL)
However, vacation wonder aside… I have to reacquaint myself with “real life” and all its mundane things… like laundry! Ha!
And… catching myself up with all your blogs! (that might be the most monumental task of all!)
Happy Monday and I will see you all back here on Wednesday with some unraveling!
Welcome back! You were missed, and I appreciate you writing two posts ahead of time. Those are gorgeous photos and I really like that way of viewing them. I enlarged every one! I hope you find some moments between loads of laundry to retain that peaceful vacation feeling.
It looks like a wonderful, restorative time away, Kat! Welcome back . . . and thank you for the lovely glimpse of fall at the lakeshore. Best of luck with the “re-entry” phase. I hope you can keep most of that good vacation juju in your heart. XO
What a fun show of photos here…PI, in all its glory. So glad it was fulfilling. (And even saw some painting!!) I love ‘weather,’ and that’s a great place to experience it. Do you rent the same place each time?
We rent from the same guys, but this time we tried a different place and liked it much better!
Welcome back! Those blue herons are so beautiful, aren’t they? I’m glad you saw so many. Love your pictures and love that you had such a wonderful, restorative time. Wishing you a peaceful re-entry into the “real” world without too many jolts.
Beautiful pictures! Glad you had a good time.
Welcome home, Kat! What a lovely time of year to get away… beautiful photos!
Kat, thank you for sharing all those photos — each one is more beautiful than the last! I can see how your trip was an inspiration for your painting. Despite the laundry, you timed it right so you got back just as the sun returned to our area. I hope the blue skies help to ease the easing-back-in process.
Welcome back! I’m glad you had a restful and enjoyable vacation at the lake!
What beautiful photos. I’m glad you had such a nice time despite the windy weather. I see lots of inspiration for painting in these photos. I hope your Monday reentry was gentle. Sometimes tidying up and getting through everyday chores is cathartic.
welcome home!! you were missed 🙂
