Alone in the Old Barn

“I always sort of swooned

at the sight of 

the classic barn structures

in central and northern Minnesota,

where everything seemed rustic

and weathered

and made to age gracefully.”

~ Richard Dean Anderson 

It’s Those Unexpected Pleasures…..

Life is filled with unexpected blessings. My husband and I took a leisurely day trip wandering country roads in search of sweet bakery treats freshly served al fresco. We picnicked on apple fritters, cinnamon rolls, and creme-filled puffs of dough washed down with a thirst-quenching icy apple cider slushy. Moments later, the owner of the orchard invited us to take a sneak peak at the outdoor preparations for a wedding happening around the pond later that afternoon. We were swept away on his four-wheel golf cart to capture romance in progress. Blessings!

Stairway of Life

“Life is a series of steps.

Things are done gradually.

Once in awhile there is a giant step, 

but most of the time we are taking small, 

seemingly insignificant steps

on the stairway of life.”

~ Ralph Ransom
