My Favorite Things . . .

 

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens . . . 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!

Cherries. They have to be one of my favorite fruits. Even more than strawberries. The cherry sellers from France would come over to the U.K. this time of year and you could buy them by the paper bagful on the side of the road. So delicious.

I also love cherries on things. Glassware, textiles, etc.

Barbie. I had the one with the brown bubble do and I had outfit #5 seen here. I loved my Barbie Doll. My sister had the one with the blond ponytail. I coveted that one. She also had a Dutch costume for her Barbie that I coveted.

Old Victorian towns. We have a few of these old houses in our town. They mostly house businesses. I don't think anyone can really afford to keep and heat one these days.

Isn't it marvelous the way nature works.  A dandelion, with multiple seeds, all with their own mode of transportation ready to carry them near and far to a place where they can take hold and grow. Its like magic when you think about it.

And those are my favorite things for this week. 

I had a surprise visit yesterday afternoon from a man I used to go to school with many, many years ago.  My doorbell rang and there he was standing on my deck.  We had a nice visit together. It had been essentially 55 years since we had seen each other.

A thought to carry with you . . .

In The English Kitchen today, 3-Ingredient Banana Ice Cream. It's amazing how these three simple ingredients can make something so utterly delicious and not that bad for you. All natural. Simple and easy to make.

I have my eye appointment this afternoon. I actually have two appointments. The first for a Field Vision Test and the second for my eye test. Hopefully they go well.  

I hope you have a beautiful day filled with lots of love, peace and joy, and a few of your favorite things. Whatever you get up to don't forget!
