Sanctuary



One of the highlights of the weekend was spending time in Paula's beautiful gardens...

















... a peaceful and tranquil sanctuary.

It was just what I needed.

I hope that your week is going well!

Since this is a mostly white post and tomorrow is Wednesday, I am linking to Kathleen at Faded Charm....make sure you pop over to see all the other participants! :)
