duNord Women's Retreat Spring 2011


 




 
Another women's retreat has come and gone........ 
Back home to the chaos.
Back to the every day reality. 

Oh how I wish I could have stayed longer.
Lingered by the shore longer, walked the woods one more time.
Loon calls, and squirrel chatter......
Deer peering along the tree line seeing if it was safe to come to the lake for a drink.
The smell of pine creeping in all around me......

Sharing real moments full of laughter with wonderful women.
A cup of tea by the fire never tasted as good.......

Waterfalls in full force from the snow melt and recent spring rains,
making for an optimal picture.
As I stand among the tall pines and peeling birch, 
woodpeckers are busy foraging their meals from the trees.

The ice retreats and then pushes back with the winds,
pushing ice into piles on the rocky shore.
Waves lap them up again and swallow them.

Experiencing three seasons in three days
Summer, spring and winter.
in that order.

Each brings a new adventure..........
