Sometimes I sit on the porch swing on the covered terrace and watch the rain. Other days, it might be sunny and I usually have a book I want to finish.
The other day I was out there on a sunny day, with a Maeve Binchy novel. I finished it. Put it down and looked around.
There was: a bird on every bird ball; butterflies on the buddleias by the barn, wagon, back land, and lower terrace; Sam lolling in the sunshine; dappled light on the wagon; just enough water in the lavoir to treat me to water melodies; and peace.
I looked to my right to see the land with the wagon, the barn looking so pretty, and the Chateau on high that wows me to this day. I looked to my left to see the cliffs, my lady from Christiane nestled on the land below, and the buddleias blooming away in 3 different colors.
I was over come with huge senses of peace, joy and love of place. I know now, that 12 years ago when I bought the Chatette...this is exactly what I had hoped it would be. This is it!
It doesn't get any better than that. It's wonderful to be filled with peace, love, joy and gratefulness whenever it appears! Happy Sunday!
