Little things

"I am beginning to learn that it is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all." ~
Laura Ingalls Wilder

 This tree-lined street that brings me home everyday...


The way they would rather wear just underwear, than anything else...

The way a colorful basket of yarn brightens, while waiting so patiently...


The way the change on the table is a sign of the little one learning to count...


The way a picture, sent by a good friend, brings laughter for the fun we had together...



And the way thoughtful friends leave beautiful, supportive comments for another in need...Thank you for all your warm thoughts yesterday, you all make me smile :).

with much gratitude and love

  2. Love the trees and the quote. I have one huge old oak on our property and it's my favorite. Not sure if there is a picture or not, I'll have to look. Remember, there is a lot to love in this world. Thinking of you today my friend, have a beautiful day.

  8. Your little things are always so inspiring. Love that color and the way you get that shot (that's you yes. I find myself on the ground a lot too), and I love that her underwear is on inside out!
