Spring; Time of Rebirth

I love this quote, love it for this time of year, April love, Spring, the time of rebirth . . . here’s a song for you 

May your days be filled with good things, the kindness of a warm cozy bed, the inspiration of God, the colors of a rainbow, the joy of a wild apple tree, the generosity of the sun, the whimsy of a hummingbird, the  wonder of the moon and stars, the fragrance of something baking in the oven, the music of the breeze, and a little quiet time to yourself to contemplate all these things.  

 Deep breath . . . Ahhhhhhhh.  XOXO

Minutia; Simply the Best ♥

Look, Minutia!  A new word for my favorite thing, the small stuff.  Prettiest musica for you!  Singing a song about the place I like best.  You can listen and watch videos at the same time if it’s not too crazy for you!  Say Hello to the Honey:

My best littlest thing . . .

XOXOXOXXOXOX

See why I don’t get anything done?  I’m at his beck and call.  I really do have  .  .  .

I’m in a piddling mode of mind, doing a little of this, a little of that.  Hanging dishtowels in the pantry to dry . . .

Ooops!  Look at that, how pretty!  I look out the window while making my tea, grab the camera and out to the garden I go to take a picture of the weeping cherry . . . take a big drink of fresh spring air . . . such a bright day!

Then, back inside to iron my kitty scarf to take on the trip.  Jack watched the ironing board set-up with total fascination!  I love the smell of ironing; hot, clean laundry soap (and a little bit of my mom too!).  Doing the kitchen dance. 

Thinking about Easter dinner, the centerpiece will be the easy part!  What to serve with the ham . . . one thing for sure, we’re definitely having this:

Old-fashioned, delicious with ham,  so easy to make — we only have it once a year, so it’s special to us . . . the recipe is in Heart of the Home, if you have it.  What are you making — doing??

XOXOXOXOXOX

I can’t seem to stay indoors . . . !  I think you can see why!  Could you smell the wind?  Did it smell like ocean air?  We’re only two blocks up from the harbor, out under the weeping cherries!

Did I show you the first present Joe ever gave me, A long, long time ago?  It’s an old cuff link from the first Queen Elizabeth; he made it into a charm for my bracelet.   We knew we’d be sailing on one of those boats someday!  (Sooo excited, makes my tummy flutter!)

On our way now, out to our walk, must get our exercise!  Lots of work to do today.  Until later girlfriends,  happy spring day, Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Happy everything!
