The sun has set but it’s still light enough to see trees, meadow, and the white blossoms dappling the blackberry bushes. Summer has arrived at last bearing hot sunshine, cooling breezes and nights warm enough to leave the windows open. I love evening at my place, love how the darker it gets the quieter it gets until at last I go to bed with only the sound of the creek and the wind in the trees lulling me to sleep.
I don’t have any food to share with you today because in a moment of lunacy I made waaaay too many scones for my Narnian High Tea yesterday, and will be happily noshing on them for the next day or two. Admittedly, I am not fretting over the situation. Almond scones with whiskey cream, lime curd and blueberries?? Yes, please!!
Instead I will share a few pictures of things that delighted me today.
Unexpected roses from a kindly neighbor.
A sunny spot for napping.
My Grandmother’s old watering can.
A pretty little turquoise bowl that makes my heart flutter when the sun shines through it.
And dusk at my home sweet home.
What things are delighting you today?
I hope you have a smashingly fabulous weekend, dear ones. I’ll see you soon!
Oh Krista, someday I want to be you! Thanks for sharing these lovely delights. It reminds me to appreciate all the simple treasures in life that I so often miss while trying to get the ‘important’ stuff done. And I never tire of your stunning photographs! You have skills.
You always have the most wonderful photographs! Thanks for brightening my day too.

Awww, Genevieve, I could just hug you! 🙂 Thank you so much. 🙂 And you delight me with your uncanny ability to find and share beauty. I love it. 🙂
Thank you, dear Mary. 🙂 I’m so glad you enjoy them. 🙂
I love, love, love that bowllllllllll. Beautiful photos. Stay strong and have a blessed weekend. With love, Oz
Isn’t it splendid, dear Oz? I found it at a thrift store and fell in love. 🙂 I WILL stay strong, my friend, and keep taking heart. 🙂
I always give out a contented sigh when I visit here! Loving the pictures at the top.
I could get used to a life of eating scones day in and day out…
Have a great weekend sweetie!
What delighted me today…..a walk through the farmers market with a buckwheat savoury crepe for breakfast from Marie, having tea with friends…now to work.
I’m so happy to know that, Sarah. 🙂 I love my new header too! It makes me smile. 🙂
Yeah, Joanne, it’s not a bad way to spend the weekend at all. 🙂
Oh that sounds LOVELY, Bellini! 🙂 I haven’t had a good savory crepe since I got home from Paris, and I still dream about them. 🙂 So glad you have a good spot to find them near you! 🙂
Such lovely pics, the roses are gorgeous, lucky you! Stop by my blog tomorrow, I have a nice surprise for you!:)
Oooo, I will, Lana! Thanks! 🙂
I just discovered your blog and it was an absolute treat to read through, see your pictures and be refreshed. Loved it. I’ll be adding you to my google reader. =) I have friends who live near where you live and it’s fun seeing your take on that area. My family also lived near there, but in Canada. =)
Aren’t those photo inspiring! You just brightened my day!
