I was on the lower patio this weekend, stretched out on a hammock with a good book and warm sun on my legs. I could hear water splashing delightfully in the fountain and could look to my right and see the sparkle as the water fell from the second tier into the bottom. Looking up to the main deck, the plants on the deck railing were spilling over the edge. And my thoughts were, “What an oasis this is!”. And I didn’t have to drive miles using expensive gasoline or go thru security at an airport to get there — this is my own back yard. How often are we so busy fixing and planting and weeding and working and repairing and …… and not taking the time for enjoying. So I did quite a bit of that this weekend — some of the work too — but definitely some of the relaxing. What a wonderful place to be!
