Seasonal Living

Enjoy life through the rhythm  of the seasons.

Revel in the changing of the seasons!

Living in rhythm with the seasons is a simple way to make life more enjoyable and satisfying.    The glorious colors of Autumn are a feast for the eyes during a late afternoon walk.  Winter brings quiet nights snuggled in at home in front of the fireplace enjoying a good book and a glass of wine.  Spring brings the promise of new life as the baby calves, goats and lambs scamper through the fields.  And Summer, ah Summer, is made for long, lazy days in the shade or at the beach with a tall glass of iced tea!   Each season has it’s unique character, food, clothes, activities and delights.   Take the time to enjoy and celebrate each day, and enjoy the pleasurable experience of living seasonally.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words but to live by them.” —John F. Kennedy.
