Sometimes it takes leaving a place and returning older and wiser to realize how special it is. On a recent trip to my childhood home of Massachusetts, I cajoled my father (actually it didn’t take much prodding on my part, he’s always up for an adventure) into stealing away for a couple of hours and visiting Walden Pond in Concord with me.

It was one of those perfect Autumn days; warm but with a slight nip in the air, the foliage putting on an over the top colorful show for us. It was the kind of day that could make a girl forget for a moment the miseries of New England’s never-ending winter and actually consider moving back. But then the reality of being middle-aged and shoveling snow for months on end brought me back to reality. But I digress… the point here is I got to spend a glorious afternoon with my Dad in this ridiculously beautiful place and I just had to share it with you.

I’m posting more images on our Facebook page. Please take a look and if you haven’t already, it would be most appreciated if you would “Like” us.

Thanks and I hope you take time to enjoy the beauty of where you live this weekend!
