:: 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

ReplyDeleteThanks for being an inspiration! What a lovely list!
ReplyDeleteoh, zinnias, I just love them.
ReplyDeleteI know, that squeaky clean bathroom gets me every time!
I remember how much I craved meat when I was nursing. Check out the steak marinade I got from a friend - it's tasty and very effective :)

TURQUOISE WITH BLUEBERRIES???? I'm beside myself with curtain-love already. And THAT doesn't begin to compare with my desire to see, hear, taste, smell those two babies!! Both the frizzy golden-haired one, and the smiling, squishy one! I'm long overdue for a visit! It's so good to be home. Your daddy and sibbies have made it such a welcoming evening/morning! Love you all so much.
