Gathering Happiness


I have been gathering a harvest of happiness this season 
and 
  my basket is overflowing .
I so want to share some of it with you
and
I hope it makes you happy,too !
a day spent in the garden with my little helper
the perfect IKEA curtains bought for $5.00 at the thrift store
a fire to chase away the chill
a Sunday afternoon visit to Haak Winery
tasting everything
on such a pretty day

Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.” – Robert Brault


Smiles on this Thanksgiving Day,

Dottie

  5. Guess you are spending the holiday with your family, and letting the little ones help you make something special.
    Your backyard still looks lovely. As it gets colder, much of our yard gets a little bleak - thank goodness for some evergreens.
    I have only been to two wineries, and I enjoyed it very much. One was strickly a walk through, but the other one had a lovely outdoor area so you could sit down, have a bottle of wine and something to eat.
    That fire on the patio is very inviting.
    Have a nice holiday,
