Beauties from my day

:: Small toes peeking out the bottom of a big pink nightshirt, morning-frizzy golden hair, blue eyes and a lovely smile

:: A look of recognition and a small smile from a warm and soft and squishy little guy

:: A jar full of zinnias from the garden, all colors, on our table

:: New curtains in our main room, gorgeously turquoise and so happy. With blueberries on them.

:: Tissue-paper rainbow window stars. I'm thrilled to have finally made some for our windows.

:: Steak marinade with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, etc., with freshly chopped garden herbs ~ parsley, cilantro, basil, oregano. It smells so wonderful!

:: Clean sheets

:: Peanut butter toast

:: Sharp colored pencils

:: A sparkly clean bathroom. It makes me ridiculously happy every time.

:: Drying eucalyptus from the garden

:: A beautiful picture of a robin's nest on my wall from brother Will's collection
