Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. John Muir ~

Barefoot in the Orchard
One of my favorite memories was walking barefoot in our apricot orchard. That was years ago, and it's still one of the first things that comes to mind when searching my life's memories.
It is unbearable for me to think about my beautiful orchard and the many others that surrounded it now only exist in my memory -- long ago replaced by houses. I prefer to keep those images in my mind as if it were only yesterday...
It's a beautiful summer morning, I'm 12 years old, outside my cat Peewee (a big yellow tabby with a bobbed tail) greets me. I head straight out into the orchard. The branches overhead hang low and heavy -- and the sweet smell of apricots fill the air. Running faster and farther with each step -- the seemingly never-ending rows of trees stretch out before me. I can feel the warm sun on my face and the cool feel of the dirt under my feet. ~

I agree, Sabina - wonderful quote and beautiful photo. I am ready to go outside and enjoy the day before it starts to be rainy and miserable here in PA. Have a wonderful mid-week day, too.
This is such a beautiful and true quote. Thanks for this- very refreshing post.
It is a good thing to take a midweek rest - thank you.
So true, when there's no beauty around us we just exist,we do not truly live...
Gorgeous image and true words spoken. Happy weekend, Sabina x
I can't believe it's been since September that I last read and commented on your wonderful blog :( This is a beautiful photo, and a beautiful quote Sabina - thank you :)
