Right This Minute…

I’m loving…

~some pretty little patterns that we picked up at the last Quilting Shop Hop…

and fabric to go with it!

~a new blueberry jam flavor that simply must be taste tested.  Yum.

~a little lady-bug that like to have her own space to read…

~a baby Magoo that believes he should crawl before he’s old enough to sit up. Slow down baby!

~a bit more order on the emergency preparedness checklist.

~ a backyard make over. More on that later.

~finding the dog bone cookie cutters I’ve been looking for–just in time. I’ll tell you about that later too.

What about you? What are you loving right this minute?  :}

Things I Love…

right this minute…

a little girl and her boy…

an old, hobbly cat that still loves me…

my favorite colors all wound up in one pretty place…

a nearly pink chicken coop…minus the chickens…for now…

the view from my classroom parking lot…

watching a naughty pony swipe snacks from a baby stroller, when no on was looking…

sweet baby pants from an old Polo shirt…

making granny square sponge cubes for the little guy…

making our own water slide…

finally, finally finishing the afghan and sending it home with the newlyweds…

finding a sweet surprise on my computer from a very sweet daughter.

What are you loving right this minute?

Beauty All Around

April and I took a quick trip up the canyon yesterday and we were positively awestruck with the beauty of the scenery around us. Sincerely, it took our breath away. Then we rounded the bend and came out of the canyon and crested the Orem hill and saw…

 

this. We had no choice but to pull over to avoid getting in a wreck.

What a beautiful world we live in.

Things That Make Me Smile

That big bright Super-moon that we saw ultra-up-close the other night. We stood out on the deck and stared at it for 20 minutes–just so we could say we did it.

The very first lilac rose of the year–pretty little shy thing. I almost didn’t see it all hidden away in the back there.

The garden all tilled and ready to plant–later this week…I hope. It’s an odd thing to have both my boys gone now. I keep waiting for my “garden army” to show up and get it all planted…but alas. I may just be on my own this time around. Even so, there’s something so full of promise about a garden ready to plant.

He-man…fast asleep…wherever I am…again…

with his sister She-ra Princess of Power. Or so they think.

That funny little plant that the Bald Kid named “Pandora” before he left. You may recall that it actually died once and came back to life unexpectedly. Crazy cool thing.

A well placed stained glass birdy of some sort, shining and catching the light in my window. Finch, I think.

A brave little strawberry that’s just barely poking it’s head out. Hide all you like–Miss Chompy will find you. :}

A new project that will eventually entertain the little, soon-to-be-grabbing fingers that we have around here.

The sleepy bit of pixie dust that is ours to hold and bounce and pat and kiss…as long as he’ll let us. Hopefully that’s a long, long time.

What makes you smile on this lovely Wednesday?
