My Favorite Things . . .

 

These are some of the things in life that I enjoy and which make me happy, inspire me, or put a smile on my face. Maybe some of them are yours too.  Lets share! 

Barnyard birds  . . .  farms  . . .  I would have loved to have been a farmer's wife.  Oh, the sounds of the barnyard.  I have probably romanticized it, but sigh . . . the dream seems beautiful.

Beautiful vistas.  I was watching Mr Bates and the Post Office last night (last episode) and the scenery in Wales was absolutely gorgeous. It made me cry.  That area in the show, I visited it many times. I was very near to my home.  Such a beautiful country. I am so glad that I got to be so familiar with it.

Strawberry Jam. It is my favorite kind of jam.  Summer in a jar. Mom made the best freezer jam.  We used to love it spooned over ice cream for dessert. It was sooooo good!

Dandelions. Perfect for making honey. I know that gardeners hate them.  I have always enjoyed them. So pretty, so yellow  . . .  and then think of all the wishes!

Just a thimble full of beauty  . . .  so small and yet it cheers the heart so much!

British robins  . . .  such lovely birds. Their song is so beautiful, and they are so brave.  Whenever you dig in the garden they are near by hoping for a nice fat worm  . . .

Dutch doors . . . and pretty blue ones as well  . . .  sigh . . .
