Thanks everyone–for making my birthday so wonderful. Being a year older always feels great when you’re surrounded by the people you love.
Stuff and Fluff…
that I love right this minute…
My new favorite soup in the universe–that isn’t homemade I mean. It’s incredible especially with a cup of black beans tossed in…and tortilla chips on the side…and cheddar cheese sprinkled on top. Ummmm….
A box of books that are ready to find a new home at the thrift store. Moving books and shelves does make a person re-access what stays and what…goes. Can’t you just hear a chorus of “The Cirrrrr-cle of Life” right now?
A very special, very secret, very big project that’s occupying my hands these days. Any guesses? Here’s a hint–it’s for our Breaking Dawn 2 Premier. Hee hee… Who’s coming with us? Hmmm?
Bright luscious crab apples just begging to be picked…
and a sweet daughter who is willing to come over and…you know…pick them.
A new Farmer’s Market to fall in love with–the Pleasant Grove Promenade. Navajo Tacos, Spare Ribs, music, veggie booths–so much fun!
Soft, willowy grass to curl your toes in.
A little spikey haired baby boy that steals our hearts at every turn.
What a lovely week it’s been!
Some Lovely Stuff…
going on around here…
~this little Magoo who thinks he’s eight months old, when he’s really just barely 6, and no amount of pleading will make him believe or behave otherwise.
~a little water sprite who can’t resist getting just a little splashy sometimes.
~having a beautiful view of “Y” mountain while I sit in the car waiting for a friend.
~fresh, beautiful, juicy, irresistible, marvelous new peaches…all for me.
~a pretty little butterfly that flew gracefully from Miss Chompy’s fingertips clear up to the branches of the crab apple tree. What? You can’t see him?! Trust me, he’s there.
~outdoor lights on a late summer evening.
~and this silly boy–in case you didn’t believe me the first time around. :}
For Another Day…
I was going to write a post telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth about my silly little garden and all of it’s woes and calamities. But to be honest–I’m just so happy to have these pretty little Sun Sugar tomatoes fresh from…well…what’s left of my garden, that I haven’t got a whiney thought left in me.
Instead, I have a whole bucket full of goodness to gobble up and it’s a scrumptious distraction.
I’ll tell you about the other stuff…later.
If I remember.
Things To Love~
this very minute…
A little girl who loves patterns and fabric just like her mama.
Seeing some of the best toys in the world coming around a second time.
Finding a very special note–just for me–on my desk, from a cute little Chompy.
Getting very close to the end of a particularly favorite project.
Great big trees and teeny tiny girls.
Being asked to make the family favorite slippers…again, only this time, in blue.
A rainbow just appearing from out of nowhere.
Figuring out the REAL reason some kids love soccer.
