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.  Let's share! 


 


Shamrocks . . . 


 

Forget Me Nots  . . . 


 


Clouds and the pictures they draw  . . . 


 

Country walks and wildflowers  . . . 


 

Line drying laundry. This would smell of the sea  . . .  how wonderful.

  1. Morning Marie, I loved all your favourites especially that pretty bed. I almost bought a package of fresh figs yesterday. After seeing your picture of them, I kind of wish I had. I’m definitely going to be making “Egg Roll in a Bowl”. I plan to use ground chicken as that’s all I have. Enjoy your day. Stay safe. Love and hugs, Elaine

    1. The figs here in Canada are much smaller than the ones I was used to buying in the U.K. I hope you enjoy the Egg Roll in a Bowl. Chicken would be great! You stay safe and enjoy your day also. A package should be with you soon. ;-) Love and hugs, xoxo

    1. Yes, it is so insincere really. I felt the ick as soon as she was at her hives in the first episode, but persevered. Halfway through the second and I had had it. I just can't be asked. Watched Martha for years and never got the ick. There is a world of difference. xoxo

  3. Love the smell of laundry that has been dried on the line, can't wait to get mine outside again. After a cold day yesterday and a cold morning, the temperatures are supposed to go back up to, maybe low double digits. The sun is making it a lovely day. Hope it is nice your way too.

    1. Yes, it's a beautiful day here today also. A bit cool, but looking to warm up for the weekend! I wish they could bottle the smell of fresh line dried laundry. I would dab it behind my ears! Hope you had a lovely birthday Linda! xoxo

  4. Hi Marie! Just my two cents…a messy bun is darling…but I find I have to keep re-doing it….no time for that!!! I do the ‘ Marian the Librarian’ look and go about my day! Ha! Enjoy your day!
    xo, Virginia

    1. Thanks so much Virginia. I think a messy bun is cute, but probably not on an almost 70 year old I think, lol xoxo

Your comments mean the world to me, and while I may not be able to address each one individually, each one is important to me and each one counts. Thanks so much!
