A Getaway



Eric's dear Aunt Caren has an amazing little house in Western MD that she so kindly shares with us. It is a small and oh so cozy house up on a bluff. Acres and acres of corn fields surround it, as does beauty. Beauty of the rippling pond. Beauty of the cows in the distant hills, reminding me of the psalm...the cattle on a thousand hills are HIS. Beauty in the sound of the wind. Beauty in the quiet that truly is quiet and still. I love the stillness that God gives us in creation that models the stillness we can have before Him.

And the air smells so sweet and clean.

We also have lots of time to do a lot of "nothing" and everything together...reading, wearing pjs all day(with knee high black rubber boots), swinging, snuggling, fishing, playing capture the flag, corn field walks, drawing, talking, singing...





We are so thankful for this little getaway.
