La Forêt

There is a serene and settled majesty to woodland scenery that enters into the soul and delights and elevates it, and fills it with noble inclinations.

It most definitely was quite a relaxing weekend doing next to nothing, taking many walks, eating too many sweets, and enjoying Father's day with all the beautiful men in my life: my hubby, son, father, and 2 grandfathers. They are too wonderful for words. Sounds cheesy, yes, but I couldn't feel more blessed to have them all around.

Hope you darlings had a lovely and relaxing weekend as well. Early night tonight, yawn, yawn...I'm off to bed.
Sweet & serene dreams!

Love,
