"You must have a place to which you can go in your heart, your mind, or your house, almost everyday, where you do not owe anyone and where no one owes you--a place that simply allows for the blossoming of something new and promising."

Impressions
How does this photo make you feel? What is your first thought?
Going on first thoughts Barbara, then I'm imagining the scene AFTER hubby and I have sat in those gorgeous chairs. The cushions would be squshed, the beautiful flower arrangements would probably end up on the floor somewhere to make way for tea and biccys and there would probably be mucky pawprints all over that lovely tiled floor. We are very inelegant....... but we'd enjoy taking tea in that picturesque scene no matter how we left it! :D
It invokes images of my Memaw and I sitting down to our morning coffee and some really great conversation. I see time spent alone, reading a book while my dogs explore the yard. And I think of what a wonderful retreat it would be for the dear husband and I to share. So peaceful...so lovely!
It looks peaceful to me, I would like to be sitting their with my husband, or a close girlfriend, drinking my first cup of coffee for the day, and just relaxing...
Well, I could say all those nice things but I felt sad.It looked like a place for my sister and I could sit and have a glass of iced tea (old fashioned southern sweet tea). Her health is not so she can travel to see me again unless God does a miracle. I will go there for a few days late in May but her family hover and we won't get much just sister time. She lives in central TN. I miss her so much.
Someone once told me that when they think of me, this is what they see...and this picture brings up feelings of love and life, hope and happiness. The only things missing are a coffee or tea pot, and a good book; or better yet, someone to visit with. One day I will have that balcony and that set...excuse me...I'm drooling!

This photo reminds me of summer with a good friend. We would be having tea together and sharing memories.
It makes me think of sitting and relaxing, looking at the beauty around me!

...... ooooops, I meant 'squashed' or 'squished' even. :O)
Calm and rested. I'd love to sit right there, alone and with a book, relaxing in the shade and breeze.
How do I get there? :)
Wonderful--spening time with a good friend:)
comfortable and welcome!

My first thought...warm and comforting. Snuggling up with a good book or conversation with a friend. Relaxing.
With book and coffee in hand, I'd love to spend a few hours there.
Make the lemonade or ice tea and get ready for a nice chat with a friend.

It makes me wish that I had a spot like that of my very own...to read and sip sweet tea...and enjoy the outdoors.
Mmmm! Iced tea and a comfortable visit with a good friend. A place where I would like to stay a bit.
