the cottage becomes
a very different home.
Footsteps, voices, laughter,
later to bed and later to rise.
The chairs at the big table
are all filled,
five or six on walks
through the woods,
Callie even becomes a
different little dog.
Departure time arrives
and now the quietness
is very evident.
Memories of this visit
will remain in the walls
and in my heart.
So pleased the progress
of the garden and grooming
of the woods is noticed.
Safe travel wishes go forth
for this special daughter.
It will take a few days
for a normal routine
to be in place...

She is beautiful. I am thrilled you share her with us. Glad there were walks and filled chairs. Glad now, for quite, and solitary thoughts.
Take care of you, One Woman, you are important to me.
Sandra, thank you so much for visiting. After a full cottage for a number of days it will once again be quiet.
Glad you had a pleasant visit. Your daughter is lovely.
Your cottage is ringing with all the joyous sounds that filled it's walls while the visiting was going on.
May your transition back to your quiet space be smooth.

My mother always said after the boys and I left, it was so quiet.....I now know what she meant! Glad you got to have good family time!
FlowerLady, Grama'sSoul and Beverly, thank you for visiting.
Raining in the woods...
Such a nice time for you. Sometimes the immediate quiet is nice and then...it almost gets too quiet--so quiet I can hear the ringing in my ears.
Beautifully written.
Judy and Nan, thank you...
