There is no place like home when you've been away

I was reading a blog earlier about taking time off for ones mental health.

I agree and offer this additional thought regarding time away.

Upon your return you are awakened by the idea ...these things I do and see keeps me living where I do. Yesterday I sat at the beach on lake Michigan, and today I was back to work in New Hampshire.

After A tough day of catch up, I walked in the woods and enjoyed a walk around the reasons I live here.

I had to share my view from the hammock.

Home...Is more than a place to sleep indoors

In case I have to sleep outside...there is always man-camp down by the river.

Fish may be biting.

Tough place to leave when you live in the mountains.

Pretty cool place to come back too. All these were taken in my yard after work tonight.

Do you think We sell Real estate because we love being home ourselves?

Steve, you're lucky to live in such a beautiful place. I always feel relieved to be back home again after I've been away, too.

Awesome pictures! I don't ski and I don't really have any use for winter except that the white snow does make everything clean and new again...but I love New England. I am always so happy to be home, no matter where I go for vacation. Fall is my favorite time of year and New Hampshire is a wonderful place to experience Fall at it's finest.

Steve,

I used to live in Michigan & kept a boat at Grand Haven - your pictures of home remind me of the Michigan scenery I remember. Both lovely places...
