“Where were you again?” “We were in the Upper Luberon. Where it becomes the Alpes de Haute Provence.” “And what did you do there exactly?”… “Rrrrien.” With a rolled ‘r’ for effect.
Nothing. We did nothing. Or next to it. Because I do count a good deal cooking and reading, walking and looking. A lot of looking. Kind of like spring cleaning for the mind. That seeing without the machine whirring behind it.
So I don’t have dramatic stories to tell because I wasn’t spinning them. If anything I was unspooling the thread. Leaving it like a trail behind me. Step back, step back, gently, quietly.
Did we have a wonderful time? We did. And did the puppers? They did too.
More soon once I organize my click-clacks but for now, why don’t you take a seat on the moss covered bench in the clearing of a forest?
It will do you good, I promise.
Good to go, good to be Home.
Ohhh doing nothing how wonderful! Sounds like heaven x

Welcome back Heather!! Ah, it must have been nice to get away. You're so lucky to have access to such beauty. Just to breathe clean air is something I'm longing for…
This Edward Sharpe song is such a perfect spring song, isn't it? It's been heard around our apartment a few times this week. I hope the weather is treating you well. Spring has finally sprung up here in Paris…enfin!
xo!
Thank you so much for all of your kindness and well wishes everyone!!! Makes me feel good. 🙂
I'm so glad you all had time away in the countryside, Heather. We're looking forward to hearing/seeing more from you about the Upper Luberon/Les Alpes de Haute Provence and the nothing that you did there! Striving toward nothing here, with love, Leslie
Welcome home! We've missed you 🙂 I'll never forget the stunning landscapes in Les Alpes de Haute Provence. Just thinking about them makes me feel refreshed — I bet a holiday there was truly rejuvenating!
welcome home!!
and how delicious and clever of you to do absolutely RIEN but gorgeous things.
bliss.
and thanks ever so much for that song – what marvel(l)ous troubadours.

Spring cleaning for the mind. Sounds merveilleux.
Great comparison, spring vacation and spring cleaning…:) Wish I've thought of it that way, while in the middle of the ocean a few weeks ago. As always – looking forward to the pictures and musings from you vacation.
