We flew the coop here this week.
Nothing fancy like the Bahamas, Disney world or Mars... just the in-laws house.
Yep, they took off for a holiday, so we had another stay-cation at their place!
We do love it here...
Their house is full of character.history.art.antiques.memories...
...everybody got a room to themselves, which you may recall from yesterday's post means a better sleep for all.
...we built a fort on the back porch overlooking a huge yard that goes into the woods.
...we took care of Hazel the white wonder dog, a.k.a.. the hornet-hunter: she will chase, chomp and chew those wee nasties all over the yard!
...Azriel loved to run around the gardens and collect yet another flower for me
(sorry Nana, your garden is smaller, but my heart is fuller!).
...we hiked through the woods, dipped our feet in the cool creek, and listened to Azriel holler after the dog - "Haaaaaaaaaaaaazzzzeeeelll!!".

But, our very favourite thing about being here?
Silence.
Beautiful, relaxing, delicious, golden quiet.
The noise of traffic is replaced with crickets.
The loudness of neighbours (no, not our housemates!) is exchanged for bullfrogs.
While the wind dancing through the towering willow tree is our music.
Gosh, I think we need to move to the country real soon.
That's the beauty around here lately,
hope you all have a beautiful weekend!
Mel ;o)
