Good morning!
It’s Saturday. As you may remember, I’m always on the lookout for the perfect spot for a bench. And the only thing better than finding the perfect spot for a bench is to discover a bench already there. Especially when the bench is empty and the sun is out.
And so I offer you this fine specimen for whatever sitting, sunning, watching, resting, and thinking you might need to do today.
Stay as long as you’d like.
“Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. We need hours of aimless wandering or spates of time sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants and the canopy of treetops.”
—Maya Angelou
Onwards,
Clara
Ah, Clara, bless your kindly heart for this photo, and your message, and the perfect quote for me today. I seem to need more and more time in little escapes these days, and I have to be constantly reminded that that's okay - and not merely selfish. Thank you. ❤️
A perfect quote from one of the best. Thank you.
