This weekend marks the first time in many months that our family does not have a sporting event to attend.
Both the football team and basketball team ended their season with a district runner-up title. The football coach resigned at the end of their last game Friday night, leaving the players with many questions as to who will lead them in the spring.
The trap team ended their season with many victories and wonderful times together.
And so today marks a season of rest. Today I shall endeavor not to leave the farmette.
I shall spend some time in the kitchen and I think I see a long walk in my future for the afternoon.

Contrary to what some people think - resting in your home should not be over-rated! I LIVE for time at home! I really enjoy being in my little sanctuary, no matter how humble it is!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful & restful day!
Marty Rubin has a point, and once in a while rest is the best!
ReplyDeleteI have missed reading your blog. Reading it this morning makes me aware what I am missing when I don’t take the time to slow down.
ReplyDeleteCindy
oh, good for you! enjoy some quiet at-home time!
ReplyDeleteEven coaches need a rest. it's great the team enjoyed so much success playing together. These are the moments they'll look back at fondly.
ReplyDeleteAnd so it is... a day's rest at the 'farmette'. Home sweet Home!
Enjoy the (relative) calm!!!
ReplyDeleteWe had a day looming ahead of us with no plans and I was so pleased.. but the phone just rang and our son's wife is cooking up something.. my poor house needs some tidy-ing!! Enjoy your walk. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a season of victories and now you can relax and enjoy the memories.Love the photos. There's no place like home. xx
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day of rest. We all need quiet time to relax and refuel.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your lazy Sunday. Maybe your girl will bake you cookies--wouldn't that make it perfect?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely love the quote.
ReplyDeletePlease have you all a good new week.
I hope you have enjoyed the day!
ReplyDeleteWell, unless you live on a farm with animals and a workaholic farmer......but I feel your relief. Basketball is over? We are just starting and don't finish until March. You live close enough to Indiana to know how crazy it gets up here about basketball; we are just getting ready to start on all levels. Enjoy your rest,
ReplyDeleteThat last shot is a winner!
ReplyDeleteI've been resting more than usual this weekend too... love that you are able to slow down a bit...
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle, That first photo ... sunset through the trees, is just wonderful. Sports results sound good. And that leaf photo encourages me to do a similar one. Really a nice shot there. Have a great day. John
ReplyDeleteThose weekends are rare and worth treasuring. Hope you enjoyed your walk.
ReplyDeletei hope you have enjoyed your day of rest.
ReplyDeletebeautiful shots!
Nothing better than a whole weekend of just chilling out at home.
ReplyDeleteYou are fortunate that your kids are involved with team sports. They are great learning opportunities, as well as ways to stay fit and have fun. I hope you had a good walk. I was kind of lazy yesterday, if you overlook 18 holes of golf. I think I need to take a long walk today.
ReplyDeleteour weekends have quieted a bit too now that football is over. we have small break now before basketball starts! then it will be spring and baseball season before we know it!
ReplyDeleteI love weekends like that. They sure seem few and far between, though.
ReplyDeleteOh you certainly enjoyed the slower pace and time for yourself I am sure of that. Kitchen time sounds relaxing and a walk. Perfect. Love the music. B
ReplyDeleteFantastic capture of glow in the distant horizon.
ReplyDeleteLovely pics!
You have such a busy life -- you deserve a weekend to spend on you!
ReplyDeletenice quote...i think what can be added to that...is at home you can rest , be nothing or be everything.
ReplyDeletelove the peaceful sunset/rise...
enjoy your time of rest!
Enjoy your much earned rest! I was a football,baseball,baketball mom, now I am a football, baseball Nana! Even tho its so much fun, It's kinda nice to take a break. enjoy, enjoy! Hugs, Lynn
ReplyDeleteI usually love lazy weekends at home! I hope you got your walk in!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet again, I'm so jealous... A long walk in my near future involves carrying laundry up and down the stairs.
ReplyDeleteI like the quote too. The photos are very nice.
ReplyDeleteLove that quote and these stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteA well deserved rest. Still, I know from experience, days of school, sports, music et. all are the best days of our lives.
ReplyDeleteI love days at home with nothing planned. Hope you enjoyed it :)
ReplyDeletea day of rest sounds awesome....
ReplyDeleteYou have some really nice photographs and I have enjoyed reading your blog. Keep up the good work.
