Island of calm

A most fantastic visit.

The backdrop: weeks of transition, busy-ness, and parenting challenges.  I arrived to enjoy some amazing cheese, wonderful dinner, and conversation.

Awoke to visit a throng of happy animals before my gracious host served me ham and eggs grown on the farm. Later that day, we took a break and sat on rocks in the river. It was just as my host had advertised. At some point, the stress just oozed out of me. Wonderful.

The only way the transformation could have become even more apparant was to transition from the Virginia countryside to driving the sprawl of New Jersey. Oh wait, I did that.
