A Lovely Writing Weekend At Stillwater

 On Thursday I headed up to Stillwater for some very sweet writing and retreating time. The journey was extended by two hours due to random interstate travel issues so by the time I got there I was more than in need of this respite! This trip I also hosted a fellow writer and it was nice to have the communal writing energy flowing. 

How wonderful it was to have a several hour writing discussion on Sweet Bay Bald! This was our view and as the late afternoon shifted to early evening the light became magical. 




I enjoyed the fall landscape in the garden beds around Stillwater too. 










Stillwater has amazing energy and I’m feeling the creative energy build each time I write there. It’s a wonderful place and I’m grateful we found it.






I love the fall shape and colors of the ferns. 






And the doghobble. 






Speaking of dogs, Baloo loves it too. 






This view from my deck chair remains a favorite. I can see our herd out there even though they remain on November Hill. 




The oakleaf hydrangea is to me most beautiful in fall and winter. I love these colors and the dried blooms. 




The hiking on the larger property was also wonderful, to the degree that my phone never even came out of my pocket. I am home and restored, just in time for the renovation of our upstairs bathroom here on November Hill to begin tomorrow! Whew. Ready to be on the other side of that but at least I’m starting in a very good state of mind.
