My French Country Home by Sharon Santoni

walking out early



It's  another hot day here today, well hot by our standards at least, I guess we'll get to 80-85° by this afternoon.   There was a heat mist in the garden early this morning, which made everything look rather special.






The best time to walk is early, and this morning, as soon as the children left for school at 8, I was off in the forest for an hour or so with a couple of girlfriends and their dogs.




 I'm not sure there is a better way to start the day, than a brisk walk, laughing and chatting with friends who all have busy days ahead.  Back down from the forest, pause to admire the view, then a peck on the cheek and its back to business.





Hope you manage to take an hour out from your routine today!

  5. I'm envious! Today here was ravishing +7 C, and a storm in addition. Monthly dosage of rain in past 24 h, so... I'm envious to anybody mentioning heat. :D Plus the view to die for!

  9. Love morning walks. I do the same, but on pavement, not a path in the woods. That looks lovely!
    Enjoy the beautiful weather!

  14. I miss having a dog and the extra little things it brings like this. Those early morning forest walks always left me feeling that I was in such priviledged position to catch nature whilst the rest of the world slept. Love your photos of the garden, the forest and the spectacular view.

  15. I love that photo with the foxgloves and that wonderful old building - a barn? On hot days it's great to have woodland to walk in where it's cooler and shady. I do my early morning walks with the dog on the moors but quite a lot of it is through wooded areas as well.
