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! ♥
