Have you ever taken a day to just drench yourself in beauty? On our drive home we decided to take a few extra hours and drive through the Shenandoah Valley, and we did not regret it. We did, however, regret the death of many butterflies who committed suicide on the front of my car. (I put this picture forth as proof that I am a butterfly lover and not a hater.)
We parted ways in Harrisburg. I arrived home, unloaded my car, got some groceries, and then sat on the deck with my land-people and enjoyed the coolish night air, fun conversation, and a glass of wine.
I woke up this morning, prepared to take on life again. (That's good, because life is about to take on me....) I have learned many lessons this summer, the most valuable being that God truly does provide for our smallest need. I will take on this year (for perhaps the first time) with joy and gratitude for what He has called me to do, and I have hope that it's going to be a good one ;-) Barukh attah adonai

Just a little correction, we drove through the Shenandoah Mountains overlooking the valley. It was a great trip and worth the extra time.
"drench yourself in beauty" .. oh lauren, that's why i like you. although, i may like butterflies a little more, so i suggest you stop enticing their suicide with your obviously too clean car windows.
i do hope i'm as ready as you are to take on life after this 'ere vacation. ..life, bring it. :)
p.s. i'm signed in to my blog right now. not that you should read it. because it's not very interesting. but, i suppose it's only fair since apparently i'm such a reader-frequente of yours ;)
