“The best way to keep children at home is to make the home atmosphere pleasant, and let the air out of the tires.”
Dorothy Parker
“Mom, can we borrow something from your closet?”
“That was fun. Hey you guys, what do you want to do next?”
“I’m bored, can we go to the park?”
“Higher!”
We’ve had so many guests in recent weeks that it feels empty at the lake when they leave.
But when I think about why we left the city for the summer, it’s for these moments. The quiet moments. The days that actually let you unwind.
The days when you get to explore new places…
…stroll with the dog…
And watch the sunset from a new vantage point…
I love the solitude that comes with these quiet moments. Life becomes less frenzied, giving us time to pause and appreciate the little things; puddles…
…a dog under the covers…
