Something More

This past week I found something more that made me smile.  Yes the hollyhocks did bring a grin but it was not these.

Finding three robin eggs made my heart happy but it was not this nest that had me smiling.

Nor was it the ripening black raspberries; although I was delighted to see there will be some for a pie. 

No, it was catching sight of this face peering down at me from the pussy willow bush.  In fact there were two other faces that were hiding in the leaves.  They were three young ones without a mom in sight.  Hope she found them.  Yes this certainly had me smiling...may it bring a smile to you as well.

Time

If you are like me there are moments when you would like time to stand still.

Summer days are some of those moments.
 
Green fields...
                     
                           flowers blooming...

raspberries ripening...

make me want to hit the pause button of time.

Like this little fellow may we all be still and savor moments that bring us joy.











Have a blessed week. 

Hugs!

Pause

I hope you will pause with me a moment.

Perhaps you will stop and enjoy the morning mist...

savor the first ripening raspberries ...

be delighted with a bright orange lily...

 a few pink poppies...

or this lovely purple clematis.

I am so grateful you decided to take a moment and pause with me.

Hope your week is filled with many joyful pauses.

Painting - Picking - Puttering

This past week found me painting...

picking...

puttering in the kitchen

and the garden.














It was a lovely week filled with all the things I love to do.

Hope yours was too!

God Bless
