Back to the Grind

We're not on vacation anymore, but we are enjoying the constant show of what nature has to offer around our house. (Allium)

In case you can't tell, our staycation is over, and I'm back to my old routines, including sporadic blog posting. I left you last Saturday wondering what we might do on Sunday. Well, I can answer that question now. Nothing very exciting except to putter around with some fun projects and watch a movie. So, I guess I would say that it was a relaxing, do-nothing last day of our staycation. Which seemed about right for us. After a few days of a vacation of going and doing, we usually need some downtime, and that was easy to do at home. Another advantage of a staycation.

If we hadn't made time to go to these places, I'm not sure we would have gotten around to doing the things we did. When I see something local that looks interesting, I put it into a folder to retrieve at a later time when we want to get out of the house. Well, the folder was getting pretty full, especially since COVID slowed down going everywhere. We made a dent in it but still have many other local places to explore.

I think there are more staycations in our future, but we're also talking about some change of scenery that would involve a long drive and what some might call a proper vacation. 

In the meantime, we are still enjoying having a working kitchen with more convenient storage and not much dust in the air. It's heavenly, actually.

Until next time...

  1. If you live in an area where there are fun things to do, staycations are really nice :) When I lived in the Southern California area, that was often the case to just stay home and enjoy the local sites. The change of routine from work is good and relaxing is just as great too, so I know your staycation was a success!

    1. I think no matter where you live there are interesting things to do. You just have to seek them out. However, we might have more than average being to close to two major cities with places that are important to a lot of major history of our country. However, I avoid Washington, D.C., in general these days because of unstable politics.

    1. They were maybe not as exciting as your late night cat trapping adventures, but fun all the same.

  3. June, I'm sorry, but, I didn't receive the usual email notifications of new blog postings, so missed this one and the newer one! Sounds like you ended your staycation enjoying a relaxed day and your allium are beautiful!
