August Break: The Sound of Summer

This August Break has been so much fun. Each morning I am on the lookout for what it is that really brings me joy in our home. As I was sitting at the dining room table booking my flight to New Hampshire for the Squam Art Workshop my heart was bursting with joy. I stopped for a moment as my mind wandered to the beauty of the lake and how peaceful it is sitting on the dock as the tiny little waves ripple underneath the wood and soothe the soul. The setting is idyllic. Words fail me when I attempt to describe the wonder of this magically little piece of heaven. And then I noticed the sound of water coming through the deck door. Just to the right of tree and shrubs in the photo is a sweet little farmers ditch flowing right by our fence. Every year my husband climbs down into the cold, cold water and builds the perfect little waterfall for us to enjoy all summer. It's the sound of the season. In a flash I was sitting on the dock in New Hampshire and I hadn't even left the house.
EnJoy,
Grace
