There is a peaceful and beautiful garden here in Salt Lake run by the University of Utah. It is near my house and we got a membership this year so that we could enjoy it any time we wished.

I had no idea how much I would appreciate this place. It is a sanctuary for me. The kids love it, too, which really helps. It has trails, fancy gardens, wild gardens, duck ponds, an ampitheater for concerts and quiet. Lots and lots of quiet.

Feeling like the rough spot I've hit over the last month or two is becoming familiar and stagnant. Found these pictures from the garden and they made me smile for a moment. I'm so thankful I found this place.
