I Am Feeling Good


It is warm !
It is finally warm along the Texas Gulf Coast !!!
I have so longed for the return of this season of light and warmth  .

During the long cold winter months
I feel like I hibernated  and had to work at finding the joy in each day
but
not any more !

Right now I am feeling so good
and
in love with

pizza with anchovies
chilled chardonnay
and oysters on the half shell
lovely spring
seed packets
blue jays at the feeder
Michael Buble' in concert
fires on chilly nights
peanut butter on warm toast
the laughter of happy children
looking at baby Giavonna's blue eyes




I wish for you tonight warmth filled with the things you love .

What are you loving right now ?

  2. How great to find the joy again, and I share many of the things on your list. I have garden things on my list, like thinking of which vegetables to plant when spring arrives. I plan to test the soil ph where my 2 blueberry bushes are planted, with my new soil test kit; now that is a hint of joy to come.
    I am also loving watching the antics of the birds at our birdfeeders.

  6. So glad you are having warmer temps. Our daughter lives on the west side of Texas and they have had so much cold weather this year.
    Your photos are beautiful, what an adorable baby.
    Enjoy your day.

  13. Hi Dottie, I'm glad you feeling good and are in a good place. What precious images and of course the baby. What a glorious goodness of love. Did someone crochet her little hat? I am looking for a pattern for my newest little great granddaughter due the first of April. Hugs to you, Mollye

  15. Well, right at this moment I'm loving that cute baby picture!

    Beyond that: Big mugs of coffee, grilled peaches, flowers coloring my driving route, the feeling that you get when you get a little decluttering done.

  17. Looks like Giovanna has a pretty face that can wear hats well.
    Lately our warm weather has also been welcomed. Of course I expect we will have a bit more cold before spring actually arrives, but this break in the cold is rejuvenating.
    Enjoy, enjoy.

  19. I love the topic of simple pleasures. In fact, I was thinking about that just this morning as I enjoyed my hot coffee (sounds like that morning cup is important to us both!) and watched the chipmunks enjoying the sunflower seeds I tossed out onto the frosty deck. Fresh sweet air, the leisure of walking to the village through the snow... lovely!
