Do you guys know what that means, and do you ever really do it? I mean, I was out at lunch today, and driving past this house. They were having a garage sale, so naturally I had to stop. It was down this long driveway. I had to park kind of close to the road with the other cars. I was wandering down this drive, and off to the right there was a beautiful pond with Canadian geese enjoying the cool waters.........beyond that was a barn. One of my favorite things in the world. A big red barn. There were two horses standing beside the doors, eating some grass. When I finally made it the the sale, I noticed this lady's flower beds were just gorgeous! Every imaginable color and kind............

I told this woman when I left that she should charge admission just to walk down her drive..........it was SOOO pretty! She said that she likes to hear that, because she and her family take it all for granted, and it's nice that people remind her to enjoy it all!

Susie, you have to start taking your camera with you on your lunch breaks so that us country girls stuck in the city can live vicariously through you.


And I know what you mean by stopping and smelling the roses. My only issue is that here in Los Angeles I rarely see "roses" to stop and smell.

YES. A good thread would be "The Kodak Moment Thread" for eactly that: stopping and taking in beauty or something so beautiful or joyous that we DO stop and smell the roses!

So Emily, do you want to start it? Being in L.A. - I would think this would be the perfect place to stop and smell the roses in the middle of a huge urban place! Do you have a digital camera?

I do. But we'll see if I have time to do so. I'm leaving tomorrow morning to fly to GA for a week. Today is laundry and getting ready. I don't think that would make for a good starter picture.
