Woke up to snow on the car this morning. Not much. Just enough to remind a person not to get too cocky when it comes to New England weather.
Here is number 15 on the “We Will Get Through This Cold Spell” list.
Grab a pencil. Or a laptop. And start exploring/researching three places you would like to visit when the weather starts cooperating. Doesn’t have to be a big, expensive trip. Might be in your own backyard. It usually is.
Could be a hike. Or a restaurant. A farm. An ice cream stand. A festival. Wine trail. Antique show. A picnic area. Cheese trail.
Write them down and then post the list where you will see it. A visual reminder of sunny days! And let’s face it, we both know that lists are way better than our memory banks when it comes to actually bringing a thought to life. Getting it done!
I have TONS of things I’d love to do. Places to visit. I hope to get a few of them crossed off my spring/summer list.
Latest addition that I just have to share with you.
It’s a lavender farm. Only a few years old. Looks gorgeous. As lavender fields are wont to do. Located in Connecticut. What a great excuse for Northeast folks to take a day trip and lap up some beauty!
Supporting farmers. Buying local. Soaking up the scent. Being outdoors.
Have a look at Lavender Pond Farm if you are interested. Share with any friends that might also want to put this on their own “To Do” list.
While you are on their site have a look under the tab “About” and read “Our Story.”
A line from a children’s book, “Miss Rumphius” written by Barbara Cooney becomes a part of this family’s journey.
“What have you done to make the world a more beautiful place?”
A shared favorite of the owner and her mother. Often read and enjoyed. Especially during her Mom’s final days before she succumbed to cancer. After having lived with it for more than a decade. She sounded like a very brave and special lady.
This lavender farm is not just paying homage to the farmer’s memory of her beloved mother. It’s also this family’s way of making the world a more beautiful place.
Totally on my list.
All of it.
Just Being Mary
