Escape to Friends and the Countryside

On impulse last week, I decided to use miles and come and see my dear old friend and her family. I have a couple more weeks before I get really busy with school again, and needed a change of scenery from the summer fog in San Francisco. So I hopped on a plane and came to their beautiful home in Vermont.

Our days have been full!

We have gone swimming.

We have taken walks.

We have played at the park, and watched the boys go down a very tall slide.

We have looked out the window at a sudden rainstorm.

We have spent time with another dear friend up from Boston, talking, laughing, and making food (and a boat for a small boy).

We have sailed the boat on a pond at grandpa’s house.

We have worked in the vegetable garden, harvesting beans, beets, carrots and much more.

And we have relaxed on the grass, under a warm sun.

What a delightful time! The only thing missing is JUANJO next to me on that grass! Next time…
