Restful indeed. — I normally prepare One Word Sunday posts ahead of time. I had noted down “rest” for today but forgot whether that was a prompt or whether it meant the challenge was resting for another week. So, my contribution is a quick one from the archive with a completely different p-o-v: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2025/01/05/the-last-of-the-leaves/

I know – I often debate what to call an empty week. I added restful in the end, but only a couple of days ago.
Anyway, I enjoyed your rest post 🙂
