We’ve all heard how important it is to eat a diet high in roughage. Likewise, “roughaging” (spending time outdoors) is essential to our mental health. Even if it’s a settee on the porch, we need it, gotta have it. I aim to be the reason you pulled your bedding out the back door last night.
Planning an autumn adventure in a national park? FYI, the National Park Service celebrated its 100th birthday in August.
Zion, anyone?

Winnie Nielsen says: I’ve been to the Great Smokey Mts in the Fall and it is beautiful . All those colors amidst the Blue Ridge Mts. Is a sight to behold .
Krista says: I love Zion National Park! It’s been about 5 years since we have been there. Looks like it’s time to plan another trip and use these maps as a good resource to find the perfect trails for us! I’m excited to share this information with my family.
Lisa Von Saunder says: Oh Lord do I love Dahlias!
Elaine Holmquist says: Dahlias give so much and require so little. I don’t know if contemporary Dahlia bulbs can be eaten, but we can thank the ancient Peruvians for growing them. Such a bounty of friendship from one little tuber or bulb, I can’t remember which.
Winnie Nielsen says: You grow the prettiest flowers at your farm! I bet a bouquet of them would be perfect on a kitchen table.
Winnie Nielsen says: This looks to be a working barn still? Nothing like a big red barn to make you feel like the world is still all good.
Don’t know if it is a working barn, no beaten down grass roads looking as if they are driving up to the barn, but this photo is taken from a distance. Could be used for hay storage. It is a beautiful old barn.
Cindi says: I wonder what it is that is so comforting about a scene like this? At least to me it is comforting. Maybe it is a symbol of endurance, our roots.
Winnie Nielsen says: Such sweet little feathered friend just stopping by to see what’s up?
