Wednesday's What If's…What If I Could Escape To My Cabin In The Woods?


Little Cabin in the Woods

Little man by the window stood.
Saw a rabbit hopping by,
Knocking at his door.
“Help me, help me help me,” he said,
“Lest the hunter shoot me dead.”
Little rabbit come inside,
Safely to abide.
We all remember this song from our childhood…not sure if it was a "good" song or a "bad" song…not sure of a lot anymore…what I am VERY sure of though is this…If someone gave me a cabin in the woods…even for a weekend getaway…I would take it! Especially if it happened to be Toad Hall and the designer was Suzanne Kasler! I would run screaming for it and never look back…I can actually see myself running…. 
Is that more scary than the song itself? If you knew me, you would probably be screaming...YES!!!
So, Welcome to my "What If" Cabin In The Woods….and more wonderful photography by Jeff Herr.



 Upon entering the front door….



Or even through one of many side doors


There are many places you may find me in this beautiful cabin!


I might just be in my glorious dining room….


Or on my porch preparing for my guests...



Or checking the lighting and fluffing the pillows in my den…
( I really do this every night….I think something is wrong with me!)


Or maybe, if the mood is just right….cooking in this wonderful kitchen…in my cabin in the woods!


And, why wouldn't I be? I have these glorious china cabinets full of everything I would ever need for entertaining!



I might just invite you to stay a while and be my guest for the weekend! I would say, "Please enjoy any one of these beautiful bedrooms!"




You can even bring your children….(If they're well behaved that is!)


There would be so much for them to do! So much freedom to enjoy the land around us! 

Whether it be at Toad Hall in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee…


Or in a beautiful cabin in your neck of the woods!


When the day is done….I will be sneaking out of a door like this one ….past a wonderful back hallway where no one will notice… (truthfully, I do that a lot in my home….my real home!) And I will be slipping outside to enjoy the surroundings…the stillness of the night or the cool air coming in like a fresh breeze….No matter what's been going on during the day…I need this time to be alone and savor each moment…each smell, each sound….


I mean, can you blame me? Who wouldn't want to enjoy this luxurious setting?



No matter where it is located!


It would definitely be just another day in paradise….
Hope you are all having a wonderful Wednesday… obviously, I'm wishing I was at a cabin in the woods…Hmmm…Wonder if it has anything to do with the fact that that is exactly where Pattie has gone this week! To her cabin in the woods of Highlands, North Carolina! So glad she got to get away! Holly and I are holding down the fort while she and Ellen are both away!
Enjoy the rest of your week!
We are certainly loving this wonderful cool air that has just swept into Alabama…hope it stays for at least a few days!

The Art Of Being Still



Sometimes I truly have to work at being still and enjoying life without wishing it away or watching it pass me by….when I saw Jeff's work on Pinterest today…it made my heart be still in a lot of ways…
His work is wonderful! This is just a sampling…the rest will come later….




For now, just be still and enjoy….






I had never considered anything like this to be "Still Life" before I saw his website…



There is a lot to appreciate about being still…




Just like this clock above…making time and life be still is so necessary at certain times in life!












That stage for me is NOW….


I can take a bath and pretend…..


Or maybe I can talk Jim into taking me here….very, very, soon!!!

I'm hoping and praying for a still, calm week…we shall see!! Holly and Brad move out of our house this week and back to New Orleans after a month's stay so we will truly be 'Empty Nesters'..
"Wonder what that's like?" 
I will keep you posted!
I hope you have a wonderful Monday and enjoy a still week….
