Rural retreat

 I was supposed to be dog sitting for six days starting last Sunday but Holly Dog had to go to another friend until Wednesday.  Anyway, Thursday I went to my rural retreat.  

Here's Holly Dog welcoming you to my blog.  She likes me to go as I take treats, especially carrots.  We still have to renegotiate each night as to which one of us has most of the bed but we rub along OK.




This glorious sight is the view from the front porch.  It was warm enough a couple of times to sit out there and knit.  


And here's the village post box. 

The notice reads, "Birds are nesting in this postbox. PLEASE DO NOT USE!" followed by details of a nearby box.   


Who wouldn't want to stay in a village with something like this!

  1. Village life is for me as well, I can't keep up with the hustle of town.

    1. That village has about fifty inhabitants so hustle is a foreign word!
