home away from home

Goodness. It has been over 1 month since I last blogged. You really don't want to hear reasons and excuses, do you?

Good. Thank you for being so patient. Thank you thank you for being here.



Well, the Grager family took a little mini-vacation to the Black Hills of South Dakota last week. I don't know how the others feel...but I...seriously...could live there. There is just an unexplainable energy that I feel there.

Love. It.

Mind if I share a few photos with you in the next few days?

The following is one of the neighboring cabins.



Yeah.

Gorgeous, isn't it! I contemplated knocking on their door to ask for sugar. Neighbors do that, don't they?

We spent 3 nights staying in a rental cabin...built on an intense incline. Wow. Just going to the mailbox could be considered a true aerobic workout!



And there were wildflowers. Everywhere. My sweet family heard me say this over and over: "...there is this scent that I keep smelling. It's amazing! What is it?!"

I never did figure it out. Gosh. Should have asked the neighbors!

Ah...glorious, majestic trees.



And weathered, eroded rocks...surviving all elements.



Although there's no place like home...it was a pretty sweet place to be!

Thanks for tagging along with my camera and me!

Welcome home and oh my, Darcie. What a beautiful setting. Such lovely photos. Isn't it so wonderful to be able to share like this - with pictures and technology? Did you happen to take an yarn along with you or were you hobby-less on vacation? What about the dogs - did they stay behind or come along?

It's a lovely place.. sacred to the Lakota Indians.... perhaps that is the energy you feel?
