grow your blog - valentine's day

A very happy Valentines Day -

and many thanks to Nancy and Lisa for hosting this party!

If you don't know me already -

Hi, I'm Karen.

I'm a 50ish empty-nester

(I stopped counting a few years back and have no plans to start again anytime soon)
wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, aunt

I live with my husband, Greg, in the suburbs of Boston, work in the city, and spend most weekends in the green mountains of Vermont where we have a little getaway that we simply call

"Away"

Here our sign hangs as a gentle reminder to check your stress at the door.
(You can have it back when you leave - if you really want it.)

I enjoy far to many things to list - reading, cycling, most anything outdoors -
and toting my trusty Rebel (without a cause) to capture it all.

So - what do I blog about?
I'm pretty sure I had a purpose - at one time -
Yeah, that wasn't a lot of fun.

I guess I think of my blog as a photo journal.

I post mostly about our downtime at Away.
This is where I do the things I enjoy the most, and have the time to do them.
(And believe me, my weekday life - not so interesting)
Life moves just a bit slower here.

I also truly enjoy seeing what's going on in your corner of the world.
The connections I've made through blogging mean a lot to me.

So here's a little sample of what I post about:

There is a whole lot of quaint

A little bit of quinessential

I'm always on the lookout for quirky

The photogenic barns of Vermont are one of my favorite subjects.

Occasionally I'll share one of my crafty projects

It's all about kicking back

And then, sometimes I throw in just a dash of daily life

(it's what I do)

So - that's me in a nutshell.

I'd love to have you along for the ride - I usually follow back

Because - as I mentioned, the connections mean a lot to me.

Thanks for dropping in!
