Joy Pockets and This Moment, beautiful ways to remember the sweetness of our days...
The birth of baby tomatoes
the smell of fresh espresso
the smell of fresh espresso
"Mama, you'll always be my butter bean."
dance that moves me to tears
a sweet note found on his phone
I hope your weekend is full of brightness and beauty,
Happy Father's Day to the Papas
much love

Wow -- tomatoes already! What wonderful joys you have posted this morning, it is a perfect way to start out my day!
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend MJ!
You know MJ, I don't think I've ever seen baby tomatoes before! They look so gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteAnd that would've been the sweetest thing to see on your husband's phone...

Thank you for the reminder to find joy in the little things. I would positively swoon if I saw that message on my husband's phone!
ReplyDeleteI am loving tomatoes here!
ReplyDeleteYes, we received a shower Wednesday night, but with temps near 100 I'm not sure it did a whole lot. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that it won't be a hurricane that gets us out of the drought!
Have a beautiful weekend MJ and keep cool.
Beautiful photo, I love the sight of 'baby' food in the garden! And the phone message - wow!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing!
I like your combination of these two rituals :) Your husband's note is so very sweet, and "butter bean" - it doesn't get much better! I hope you have a lovely weekend and a great time celebrating that sweet man of yours!
ReplyDeleteHomegrown tomatoes, yum and how good is the smell of good coffee! I love the endearment 'butter bean'. My hubby leaves messages on my phone, for things I need to do! Have a beautiful weekend MJ. Jacinta
ReplyDeleteOh yay for new tomatoes! Ours are still so little.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!! Have a beautiful weekend!
ReplyDeleteSYTYCD has brought me to tears a few times. That is a lovely example of why! Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI can only dream of growing tomatoes like that here in Norway. Apparently, no matter how much sunshine you have, if the temps don't get above 70s, your tomatoes plants will never grow higher than an inch tall. Sigh...
ReplyDeletep.s. what a good husband ;) Happy weekend! http://transplantedbaker.typepad.com/the_transplanted_baker/2011/06/this-moment-setting-sail-from-the-living-room.html
Love that tomato photo! What an amazing moment in time!

So much beauty here as always. Soul work sounds so inviting right now. I think that one day soon, I shall be able to begin it, too. It's a bright day here, today. Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh, sweet baby tomato I love you. I'm waiting for our little ones to show themselves on the vine -- still a ways to go in this climate.
ReplyDeleteGreat index card idea.
Found you through Joy Pockets.
ReplyDeleteWonderful links. Truly very joyful moments in your life.
Thank you for sharing all of it. I am inspired.
Have a joyful weekend.
Love from Eva
oh such a beautiful idea! i just came across your blog and have had such a lovely few hours reading away...and lo and behold you have introduced me to another wonderful blog via this post!!

I'm really lovin' this "Joy Pockets" thread. I've just stumbled upon it. :)
ReplyDeleteHey- joy pockets is awesome! I'll have to dig further- We harvested all our 'maters already - I had a plate full of bright and shiny red ones on a bright blue plate for my picture- and i just loved it! Isn't it funny how the small things really do bring us the most joy? My six yr old walked in while I was reading your beautiful post and asked "mama - do you know how much I love you?" - perfect timing! so glad you've got a thoughtful/ sweet husband! I am blessed in that department as well and sooooooo very thankful!
ReplyDeleteWhere are you growing the tomatoes? Our plants withered from the heat (after a good season) I was thinking I might try putting some in a big kids wagon so I can wheel it back and forth out of the heat/direct sun. What do you suggest? We're on the Southwest coast - RIGHT on the coast- hot hot hot! :)
sorry about the long novel...... you're just so dang entertaining! :)
ReplyDeleteAw, sweet phone message indeed! Gorgeous picture. Our tomato plants are still too small. I feel like we're never going to get tomatoes.
