It’s a quiet night at home, a night for glowing candles, cream tea, and remembering good things that have brought me joy this week.
Such as hiking through lush green fields in my favorite wellies.
Discovering strange and gorgeous things in the bush like this fallen log.
Having a picnic all by myself today: glorious sunshine, good book to read, a bowl of Greek salad with massive chunks of Feta, and a dark chocolate Kit Kat bar just for me.
These adorable faces watching me work in the yard.
A bowl of popcorn made on the stove-top, hot, buttery, salty and wonderful.
What good things are making you smile this week?
They are lovely things indeed Krista (I love the Greek salad and then a dark chocolate Kit Kat). A brief ray of sunshine made me happy today as I went for a walk along the seafront 🙂
A seafront walk would thrill my heart, dear @wanderingsheila:disqus 🙂 I’m so glad you had a ray of sunshine to brighten it. 🙂
Those wellies (and those goat faces!) would make me smile too! I’m smiling at the thought of flying home to S Africa for 2 weeks on Friday :o))
WOOHOOHOO!!! So excited you get to go home for a bit, @76b7f5617f998f38e3daf83409eb82fb:disqus 🙂 I’d be busting my buttons too!
That my grandma celebrated her 90th birthday recently and that I have the pleasure of calling her grandma.
Ohhh, happy birthday to your grandma, @google-636022e23c27f48cb4ebfe215d5049c0:disqus ! That’s a wonderful thing. 🙂
Taking Italian conversational classes through the Italian club, debunking the mysteries in an East Indian cooking class, trying samples of ravioli stuffed with burrata from the chef at out local Italian grocer, coffee with friends, trying a new restaurant, cleaning and organizing the kitchen cupboards, dreaming of my daughters upcoming wedding, walking through a hail storm:D, seeing old work friends….
So many fantastic things, dear @d58b26e263bfdbd99d844b965c5cbbfb:disqus ! You walked through a hail storm!! You crazy, adventurer, you! 🙂
OK, sorry, can’t talk – heading to the kitchen to make me some popcorn that looks exactly like THAT! sounds like a good week so far – cheers m’dear!
Yay!!! Enjoy your popcorn, darling @9d73767d10227efff04c7307e331304c:disqus !
Relishing my little girls smallness and doing things that delight them, taking time to focus on happiness, coffee with a friend. Your picnic sounds lovely! I’m so glad you got enjoy it.
Beautiful, dear @facebook-100001665607063:disqus xo I’m so glad you have little girlies and a good friend and delish coffee to make your heart happy.
My good things: making a new friend over fresh berries and a pot of PG Tips, a friendly walk with the woman next door, raspberry vinaigrette on mixed greens at a coffee shop with my love, feeling brave, wrapping myself in a warm and cheery Russian scarf in the breezy spring sun, happy crocuses outside my window, and spontaneous hugs from my little girl.
Ohhh, those are SO lovely, @facebook-1036205453:disqus 🙂 I’m sighing happily just reading them. 🙂
These would all make me so happy too… as for me, I have loved sharing a walk around my neighborhood with my husband since the weather here in DC is finally turning spring like.
Going for walks is one of my favorite things too, @facebook-714266720:disqus 🙂 I’m so glad the weather is getting so beautifully walkable for you. 🙂
The boots! I’m in love with your boots. They match your personality 100% 🙂
Thanks, @OrgasmicChef:disqus 🙂 They make me happy every time I wear them. 🙂
The faces of those goats are so cute. They remind me of our beautiful old dog and the way she looks at us…
Aww, I love faces like that, @jenny_atasteoftravel:disqus 🙂 They make you feel so mushy and loved. 🙂
I’m so happy to have discovered your blog…such wonderful photos. I can see why you have a lovely day…I would too if I was in your wellies.
I’m so happy you did too, @karenbackroadjournal:disqus ! I’m looking forward to perusing your blog when I get home. 🙂
