Justin came out to visit this weekend, and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. He brought birthday presents and cooked me a delicious curry stir-fry dinner. We sat down to eat just at magic hour and it felt like we were away on vacation somewhere, a cabin hidden in the woods. There were fresh flowers on the table, Billy Holiday in the air, and the most romantic golden light shining through the open door. It was perfect, and just exactly what I have been needing after all those lonely stormy days and nights.
On top of getting to spend a lovely weekend with Justin, Bill and Jessica and Lincoln were in town again for a couple days. On Saturday afternoon we all went strawberry picking. It is pretty silly how much I am completely in love with this area. I can just go on and on about how beautiful it is, and every time we go to do something out of doors, I manage to find a new spot to fall in love with.
On Sunday Peter and Rhea and little Edie came to visit for the day and the sun stayed out so we were able to have a picnic on the green grass of the Smith Campus. In the afternoon we all went for a walk, and Carrie took us to a beautiful trail that happens to be right behind our house. You have to walk on this little path, and under a cavern of trees, and suddenly it pops you out on a raised path way overlooking fields, with the big green mountains in the not so distant distance (does that make sense?).
These photos really do not do the scene justice. You'll have to come visit and see for yourself!
