 In my opinion, the best seat in the park - 

at Fairy Stone State Park in Stuart Virginia.

Sit and Watch The Leaves Turn

Everyone must take time 

to sit and watch the leaves turn.

Patches of Color

Everything that you can see in the world around you presents itself to your eyes only as an arrangement of patches of different colors.

Turning Over a New Leaf

The chief beauty about time is that you cannot waste it in advance. The next year, the next day, the next hour are lying ready for you, as perfect, as unspoiled, as if you had never wasted or misapplied a single moment in all your life. You can turn over a new leaf every hour if you choose.

 ― Arnold Bennett

As many of you know, I LOVE benches!

I do not see empty benches as lonely. I see them as

Inviting, Peaceful, Restful, Stress-less (is that a word?)

Maybe my all time favorite description for an empty bench is

Comforting!

A Pathway, A Bench and More Trees

Life is amazingly good when it's simple and amazingly simple when it's good.
