Today’s post will be short on words…on purpose.<\/p>\n

I love the peacefulness that follows a chaotic harvest. I love harvest time, but that first day when the corn dryers are shut off, the machinery is in the shed, and there is no need to rush is so peaceful.<\/p>\n

During the rush of harvest, or of spring work, I often think back to some of our vacations. My favorite spots have a common theme…water. Whether it is the lake home we rent for family gatherings, or this scene in Oregon, there is something so calming about the sound of water lapping a shoreline, or moving over rocks. Thinking of those times brings memories of peace, contentedness, and joy even during those crazy days.<\/p>\n

Where are your favorite peaceful experiences? Do you go on vacations to relax, or are you more of the work hard, play hard type?<\/p>\n
