My view this morning. A cup of coffee. Dog Charlie at my feet. Cats cuddling. And a chat with a friend. Doesn’t get better than this.

Jen with Rio
On Wednesday I drove to Breaux Bridge to visit my friend Jen’s farm, Bonne Terre (which means good earth). She has been working hard all year to get her property ready for renting. She offered her place for a writing retreat, so I am working on plans. Check out her new website here.
Above Jen is flirting with her horse Rio. I loved watching her interact with her animals. She is a natural mother to them all.
Everywhere I turned there were writing prompts. Sitting on the porch watching the birds, looking at all the artisan knick-knacks she has around, or reading the inspirational messages on her walls, I felt relaxed and inspired.
Today I celebrate friendship and the long relaxing days of summer.

Love the animal pics, especially Buzz snoozing in the sun. Relaxed and inspired – the perfect way to greet summer. Enjoy your time at Bonne Terre.
Wow, that looks like the sweetest place. I knew you were at some relaxing place, and glad to know more. Love the pic of Buzz, lazy afternoon!
The cow is my favorite! What a beautiful retreat.
Beautiful!
Cows. Horses. Cats. LOVE it!!! Enjoy your summer days!
This looks like a dream! Beautiful retreat!
Margaret, you are definitely in relax mode. I can see you are enjoying time off. Your friend’s retreat is a sensational place to find the muse. Enjoy every minute. Even your cat is loving the relaxation of summertime in Louisiana. That photo deserves a poem to be shared.
Heavenly! Sounds like a wonderful place to be.
A peaceful morning sets a wonderful tome for the whole day. I am happy you get to enjoy a relaxing weekend with inspirational writing prompts.
So glad you are enjoying the summer. Can’t wait to join you one way or another!
