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! 

Sometimes we need a reminder.  Knowing that He is always with me, no matter what, is one of my absolute favorite things.

I love this little bird feeder (and European robins!). It reminds me of several that we had in our garden in the U.K. I wonder if I could get something similar here.  I also had a cast iron dinner bell, which I loved, also with two birds sitting on the top. Such pretty things  . . .

This  . . .  everything about this.  The furniture. The bedding. The wallpaper . ..  that window. I can tell there are wooden shutters. I love wooden shutters. It reminds me of the place we stayed at in the south of France.

Laundry rooms . . .  I had a laundry room in the house we built in New Brunswick. It was a beautiful home.

In The English Kitchen today  . . .  Homemade Golden Syrup. So yummy!

Sorry for my absence yesterday. Cindy and I had to go see Dad. He hadn't slept all night.  Do you remember the accident he had two years ago where he hit someone at the lights in town and wrote off his car?  The person is suing him. He was very upset about that.  We had to go and look at the papers he'd been served and take him to his insurance people to make sure of what was going on.  He was quite distraught about it. Anyways, all sorted.  The Insurance is paying out.  Not him. They were able to reassure him and he feels much better about it now. 

We are going out again early today.  We want to hit the Superstore and pick up reduced free from chicken (fingers crossed) and then we are going to dad's to work on some of his reducing. We hope to have him into Cindy's within two weeks, but it is a slow slog. A huge transition  . . .  and hard for him to let go of things.  That is hard for anyone.

No hummingbirds yet, not that I have seen although I did watch the chipmunk chase away a Nuthatch yesterday afternoon, lol  They are bolshie little beasties!

In any case, I hope you have a beautiful day!  Be happy, be blessed, be safe and don't forget!
