When I get to cat nanny and house-sit for the fabulous MARY ANN MOSS she always leaves me little road maps of places to see and suggestions of eateries. In 2010 I visited ARLINGTON PARK which you can see the photos I posted if you click on the link. The first thing that amazes you at Lacy Park is the wonderful aroma of roses and fresh cut grass. Wish I could bottle it up and send it to you.

Of course a day of walking in a beautiful garden requires a lovely afternoon nap
with the fur kids. Took out my sketchbook and new water brushes (love!) and with
some acrylic ink did a quick sketch.
The first time I came to Moss Cottage I was overwhelmed and inspired by the visual
her blog and see for yourself. But make sure you have plenty of time and a
nice cup of tea by your side. I was so eager to try my hand on a visual journal
that I went to the nearest drugstore and picked up an everyday lined notebook.
Which I have come to realize was a mistake. I spent too much time sewing pages
together, painting and gluing to make it sturdier. But I have kept it and been
working on it none-the-less as sort of a diary-for-when-I-make-a-real-one.
  
The four hours to make it back to the ranch gave me time to reflect and think about the
future. Hope all is well where ever you are!
