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!


 

Tea pots.  I love tea pots. I actually had one like this in the U.K. which got left behind. I had found it in a charity shop.


 


Pumpkins. They are popping up everywhere at the moment!


 

Fresh donuts.  Love them.


 


Pearls.  I love them. 


 

The beauty of dramatic skies.


 

Windmills  . . . 


 

Rustic table scapes  . . . 


 

A tisket a tasket a basket full of throws  . . . 


 

Geese make me smile  . . . 


 

Autumnal throw pillows  . . . 


 

The beauty of nature up close.  Just a squash blossom, but so beautiful.


 

Dance  . . .  love to watch it.


 


Horses. Their size frightens me, but they are truly majestic creatures.


 


Dinner rolls, fresh from the oven, brushed with butter and glistening with tastiness.


 

Autumn vibes  . . . 


And those are all of my favorite things for this week. I was a bit late getting started this morning. I woke up late. Some days are just like that!


A thought to carry with you  . . .

Lamb and Damson Stew



Sharing in the kitchen today, Lamb and Damson Stew.  Tender pieces of melt in the mouth lamb in a delicious gravy with root vegetables and a baked dumpling topping. Fabulously tasty! Pork would also be very nice done this way.


I hope you have a lovely Thursday. I am picking up my friend Jackie later this morning and we are going out for lunch. It's something she has wanted to do since August, but life kept getting in the way.  Lunch with a friend, another favorite thing! Whatever you get up to today, I hope it brings you joy!  Don't forget!
