scene and story - june

Well.....
This wasn't exactly what I was going for
- but, then...


this was my June
- blurry, but pretty and colorful all the same
My month started out with crazy, busy work deadlines,
the birth of our first granddaughter
- yeah, she's pretty much the sweetest baby ever -
(I may be a teensy bit biased)
- and ended with a much needed week off -
and a celebration for Greg's career transition -
many changes ahead...

On this particular day, Greg and I hiked to Stratton Pond in Vermont
It was the perfect day to roam around the woods,
picnic by the pond, at catch a much needed breath.
With any luck, July will be a bit more focused
- and while June passed by in a blur, it was a pretty wonderful month

I'm joining Sarah and Leon for Scene and story

Have a wonderful, safe, 4th of July!

  4. Sometimes life does go by in what seems like a blur, Karen, but from what you wrote in this post it's all good and exciting as well. Enjoy the holiday with your family and especially the newest member.

  9. Grandmothers are supposed to be biased - I'm pretty sure it's in the job description. June did pass in a blur, didn't it? But your photo beautifully captures the "big picture" of a gorgeous summer day.
