Home Again--Momentarily

We returned home last evening after a brief but wonderful time at Mohonk Mountain House. My blood pressure drops the moment we turn onto the grounds because I find it not only incredibly beautiful, but serene as well. While the past three days were jam-packed with activities like hiking, golfing, tennis, running, and eating (you have to do the all of the others so that you can enjoy the eating and not gain weight big time), I normally get a lot of reading done as well. And I generally try to write a poem or two while I am vacationing there. Actually, about eight or so years ago as I was becoming interested in poetry, I went to a poetry workshop there that helped motivate me to take the of risk actually writing poetry.

For the next two weeks I will be on vacation. While I will attempt to keep up on my blog, I suspect that my ability to do so will remain spotty. We actually return to Mohonk for about 10 day on August 3rd, so we will have a good chance to unwind and enjoy its beauty .
