Slowing Down

Today was one of the most relaxing days I have had in a very long time. It all started as I posted earlier with me stopping at Starbucks and sitting still long enough to realize I had not actually relaxed and just let go in a very long time. The wave of relief that fell from me from just sitting down for a few minutes was unbelievable.

Once my daughter was back at school I had all types of busy need to do plans I did not want to go home form Starbucks so I decided to adventure as my husband calls it. I am sure there are time and will be again in the future that neither he nor other people who care for me are thrilled with my walking off into the trails of the national parks and wildlife refuges.

Today turned out to be one of natural and spiritual blessings and some pretty funny moments as well..
So I played hooky from my constant rush and headed out to Back Bay. Well it helps if you first remember what road you have to turn down them of course that good old green moo la it real handy. Who knew you had to pay to get in during tourist season. ( Duh)





OK, so all the way back to the little food mart I go to the only ATM for miles and I do mean miles. show a tourist how to use her credit card at the ATM ( go figure) nice lady though and then off back to the way I came.

On the way back I make a pit stop at the Little Island Beach/Park for an hour and a half. Then off to Back Bay Wildlife Refuge. If you want to read about those to then head over to my story blog and check it out. lol it will be to long to post here anyway.





After that I headed home stopped at this great roadside veggie/fruit stand and got some green tomatoes, cherries and plums. I also got my favorite flowers. Sunflowers remind me of the Movie Under the Tuscan Sun and has become my reminder of the fact that you get the things you ask for sometimes you just have to wait . Anyway headed home and hit Trader Joe's with DH and then home to make him some Fried Green Tomatoes.

Went for a walk and then got adopted by a duckling who would not stop following me. DH had to chase him off so he would not follow me across the street. I laughed so hard and trying to out run a duck and then watch him chase it off and run from it did not make it any better. Needless to say we had to find a different way home.




Then we sat in the back yard and watched the heat lighting in the clouds and drank Starbucks not a bad day.


So today turned out to be one of the best days off I have ever had.. Oh did I tell you my vacations starts next week. I already know what I am gonna do. I will visit the wildlife parks in my area and blog my adventure. If you want to know how many we have the total is around ( looking up how many) uhh, never mind the number well just take the ride..

See you on the trails.....
