My Happy Place

Today we farewelled Desley and John back to Melbourne after a lovely weekend visit.  Do you think we could get a straight photo in??
 

I also went to my happy place today.  I often go for a drive through areas I'd like to live in, with acreage and a bit of farm land, on my way to the egg farm to pick up some fresh free range eggs.  My happy place also includes a visit to a plant nursery or two.    All of my boys had the sniffles (more like green boogers) so I kept them home from school.  We didn't want to share our germs at school and today was such a beautiful day so I shared my happy place with my boys.  We went to the egg farm, we looked for the chooks and the boys played on the tractors.  Notice Ethan's hat, he has a little packet of kleenex shoved up the back, I gave them each a packet and they carried them around all day.  I'm sure Toby treated his packet like one of his babies.



We stopped at the road side stalls to buy fresh vegies and the last of the strawberries.  Then  visited a couple of plant nurseries to search for the right pots and herbs to plant up for the school teachers Christmas presents.  It was just one of those happy days, with the perfect weather, not too cold and not too hot.  The sky was blue and it was such a peaceful, lovely day.  I like keeping my boys home from school.



Where's your happy place?

My happy place is this beautiful place called Blue Mountain, just outside of Missoula, MT. I feel complete when I am there.
