{ My new favorite spot }

The weather has been stunning lately and usually after dinner, this is where you will find me.

I just love sitting out here with my laptop, my glass of lemon water, and watching the kids play, seeing the birds fly over head, listening to the winding down of life on base.

Occasionally we will have a visitor, some little rabbit that will stumble upon our backyard and hop it's way around , exploring, sniffing, nibbling....

It doesn't last too long because once the pugs get wind of it, they're off chasing the bunny through the fence.

It's actually really quiet on base around this time. You will see families walking with their kids and their dogs, soldiers returning home from work, you can smell the delicious scents of supper time, hear the random mower going or a sprinkler spinning.....and you can hear children playing in the back yards.

Mine will either take this time to swing while enjoying the sunset.....or do their homework while enjoying the cool breeze.

There's always ice cold lemon water at hand

and lots of daydreaming.

For me it's a way of winding down, it's so relaxing when all you hear are birds chirping and the world around you is bathed in an orange glow as the sun sets for the day.

Hope you take time to sit down and take a breather too, it's needed for the soul, believe me, even if just for 5 minutes a day.
