I took a long walk last Saturday. As I walked, I let the gentle warm breezes fill my senses. The last roses and daisies of the summer nodded their heads.
I thrilled to see skippers darting about the gardens like fairy children gathering the last of the nectar from the fading flowers.
My walk took me past one of my favorite houses. I call it, “The French House.” There were two Vespa’s parked on the front lawn. A whimsical red balloon was tied to one of them, and it made me smile.
A charming scene waited on the front porch. I pictured the small table with twinkling candle light, welcoming guests to a beautifully prepared meal.
I walked on and spied these gorgeous red peppers hanging on a fence.
By this time twilight had fallen. I hurried home full of inspiration.

Isn't walking in your neighbourhood one of life's simple pleasures? I do it too, and enjoy it very much.

Stunning photos as usual. How can one not be inspired when surrounded by creation nestled in the palm of the Creator. It sounds like you are settling back in wonderfully. I am glad you found contentment in the beauty around you.
Thank you for dropping in for a visit and for your well wishes. Praying you will have a heart overflowing excitement and inspiration.
Nancy,
I am holding on to every second of summer that I can.
No fall decorations will go up until the frost hits the ground.
I will keep my few tiny seashells close at hand.
That pretty French house has me intrigued…
Is it a small cottage house or a large one filled with rooms?
I love that front door…
Have a wonderful day my dear friend,
Louise
Shadows are lengthening, the nights are cool, and yet the days still feel like summer. I love this time of year!

Oh to have a house that is called the French house and to have one, no two Vespa's. not to mention a red balloon...well how cool is that. It just tickles imagination, just love that, thanks. Have a lovely day!
I guess we'll just have to move in together, as I covet that house too!
sigh...

Inspiration abounds if we just take time to look.
The balloon tied to the Vespa made me miss my Napoli...
What an inspirational walk. I can just imagine breathing in the last warm days of summer.
Blessings,
