I've been more active lately, physically. It's sort of funny to say that considering the fact that I have three small children, a good deal of animals and three large gardens. Farm, garden and family always keep me moving but at a pace I can never quite determine for myself. For one reason or another it's taken me some time to really decide to carve out some peaceful time for my self, time when I can move as fast or as slow as I'd like or not even move at all.
One of my greatest joys this summer has been getting familiar with and hiking the trails right behind my house. Only once have I brought my phone along to take some images of what I have grown to deeply appreciate, desire and now, treasure. I wanted to share a few of my deep breaths with you. Vermont is so beautiful, a perfect balance between the wild and the tamed. The trails I hike are a mixture of those two elements. That's just where I am at right now, lingering somewhere in between the wild and the tamed.
