A Vacation State of Mind...

There were no blog posts from the Nest last week because I was away on Vacation! This is a practically unheard of occurrence for me, we rarely go away for more then a weekend, but this was an entire week away without TV, internet, offspring, or even pets! My husband and I went to a lovely cabin in the beautiful mountains of Floyd, VA and had a wonderful relaxing time. So today I thought I'd share a few photos...
Of course there were fabulous views...


I have never seen so many butterflies!



And Blackberries everywhere! We brought home a bunch...jam making will commence...


If you see a magical path through the woods, of course you should see where it goes!


It may lead to a quiet spot for resting.



And with all that free time, I even finished my sock!

I can hardly wait for Oct. when I will be taking my family, spawn and hubby in tow, to the beach for my son's 5th birthday. Thanks for sharing the beauty you found there. can't wait to see you next project though they are always such a joy!

  5. That is one of the best pictures I've seen of the Blue Ridge Mountains. I love Floyd! I have my work in a wonderful gallery there called "New Mountain Mercantile."


    Glad you enjoyed your time off.

  12. The first picture is so wonderful. I wish the whole world looks like that. I just hope that it is going to be preserved. The most stunning picture for me is the last picture with a foot with a sock on.
