"We tend to forget that happiness doesn't come as a result of getting something we don't have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." ~Frederick Keonig
Spent the morning having brunch at HIdden Lake Winery and then enjoyed a stroll through their "wine" trail which runs along the outskirts of their small lake. Lots of wildflowers in bloom and quite the array of colors. View On Black

“Nature will bear the closest inspection. She invites us to lay our eye level with her smallest leaf, and take an insect view of its plain.” ~ Henry David Thoreau
Photographed along the "wine trail" at Hidden Lake Winery....talk about catching me off guard; not something one expects to see on a walk through the woods, but definitely made me smile and hope it brightens your day as well :-) Have a great Wednesday!!!!

“One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon-instead of enjoying the roses blooming outside our windows today.” ~ Dale Carnegie
Take some time to stop & smell the roses, even if it's a hundred degrees outside :-) Have a great Thursday!!!! And as always, thanks for stopping by to visit.
