Weekending, in the NC mountains

On this long weekend, we are spending it in a blissfully beautiful place, stomping in the grass, dipping toes in the water on an unseasonably warm day, playing with rarely seen cousins, catching up, being outside and breathing fresh clean air. It is wonderful. It is is nature. And we are soaking up every moment.

A weekend at this hidden gem of a place, with his cousins around him, is just what a seven-year-old boy wanted for his birthday. We are the lucky ones really, to have been invited to this wonderful gathering.

I hope you all are having a blessed, wonderful weekend with your families.

As always, when we leave The Brown House, our pets sitters and critters are left holding down the fort. It is a beautiful, peace of mind that we are so lucky to have when we travel. So thanks to the most awesome pet sitters, who are always there for us and our spur-of-the-moment, get out of town trips.
