You need a place to unwind, to get away, change of pace, you have a choice, where would you go ,, ie, my car yesterday decided that it was in danger, it put itself in anti-theft mode. Go figure. I’m in the middle of the woods, no one around.. it was perfectly safe. I was back and forth to it every few minutes filling up bird feeders. I was using the doors, (side) to get at peanuts, sunflower seeds, the boot was open, that is where the bird seed and corn is, and the suet balls/ cakes, 3/4 of an hour later, I close the doors get in to drive away and “she” goes ballistic. Little alarms go off, the dashboard lights up, anti theft mode, the symbol of two locks appears.. the battery did “NOTHING” but make time bomb sounds, tick tick tick. I try again, dinNata, zip… nothing, I could only stare in disbelief,
Suffice to say, I had a “busy” day. It is cold in the early morning, I had gotten to the conservation parking area around 7:30 a.m. The tow truck arrived at 11:44 a.m. I will spare you the gory details of my adventure, but when finally I got to “review” my day,,.. I thought of where I would like to be for a bit of a HOLIDAY, getaway,, The top picture is of a place that was discovered during my last trip to the Ompah part of Ontario. A roaring fireplace, someone to tend it of course (not moi) … a small supply of easy to heat and serve dumplings, maybe dry garlic scallops, a nice tossed salad in the fridge, lots of ice.. (for my coffee of course)… mellow music .. or maybe just the sound of the crackling fire… Yeah… Nice. What about you.. ? Do you have a hide-away?

These are all great hideaways. I hope that first one gets the attention it seems to need. I love the encouragement to make the best with what you have.
there was a new build further up the road where this little “cabin” was.. I wondered if this was their “old” home and they were now living in the “modern” split level up the way,
Nice getaway spots. I am fortunate to live in my ‘getaway’ place. 🙂
that’s a wonderful place to be…. “home” is where the heart is…
How distressing to have your car peg you for a thief! Fat lot of gratitude from that hunka metal.🤣
The getaway scenes look delightful. I live in mine full time. But sometimes I do fantasize about a little hideout somewhere.
thanks for the giggle, I was not happy with “her” .. but she has been my companion and has been really good otherwise.. I am just so used to her being there, ready for me whenever I have a need to spread my wings. (which seems to be everyday).. I’m with you, I like to fantasize about hideaways, but the reality is.. it would have to be for a very short “time” I like my creature comforts, I love to explore and get around, but I love being home with my “babies” and MY bed, my bathroom, etc. How YOU doing?
I’m quite well. Finished a big project and went on vacation to California for a couple weeks. Now I’m working on book promotion and establishing new routines.
that’s good, after a holiday, one does have to re-establish a routine.. or… ?? have you tried to simply BE
Maybe I should work on that…😊
Our camper was our getaway device at one time. But currently home is where I’d love to be! Glad your story had a happy-ish ending. Technology works great until it doesn’t.
that is soooo true.
That first shack is fabulous.
I know.. thanks! I was thrilled when I saw it..
Loving the white cottage with the flowers in the front yard.
Hi Teresa.. thanks! have a great week!
They all look like wonderful places to get away and think or just be. I think my favorite is the elegant house with all the flowers. 🙂
