Blessed



I have been living days
of
quiet beauty
and
 sweet blessings....

The very best kind of days
I think....



I spied a tiny ladybug in my salad garden..just one of many...

 blooming sweet violets have graced the herb garden with a little romance....

I collected forty violets today..and made Candied Violets.....
I think they will look so pretty on my Easter cupcakes.

I am slowly reading this book. I want to linger in its beauty. 

Grandmother's gumbo is a very good way to chase away a damp,gray day.

 .

This was the sweetest blessing and I am so proud
of my grandson, Dax.

 ..First Communion Sunday...
I told you it has been the very best of weeks
and
I am thankful...

Smiles, Dottie
