Nose off the grindstone for a week...


It seemed like we were working hard week after week, looking forward to our vacation, and now we're home and back to working hard week after week. Oh well, it was a nice vacation, a wonderful break from the ordinary. We've never done the Shenandoah region in the fall before. The spring is a beautiful time to visit, with all the new growth and just awakening wildlife. Autumn is beautiful, too, with lovely colors spreading out over the mountains and valleys.
The Rocky Branch Retreat was a very nice house to stay in, more spacious than we expected, and well-appointed. The grounds were large and fun to ramble. It was a perfect place to relax. In my imagination, life would always be relaxed and easy in a place like that... (no, don't correct me! I like that life in my imagination!!)
HERE are pictures of our time; if you haven't had a fall vacation, live vicariously through us!
