Moments I’m enjoying

Moments I’m enjoying currently:

 

The blooming of my cane-like begonia.  Jeff bought this plant for me almost 9 years ago at a yard sale in a lot of about 7 houseplants.  This one looked bad, it’s root ball had been broken, but I re-potted it and hoped for the best.  9 years later its the only surviving plant from that yard sale lot and in fact, has many “children” that have been given to friends & family over the years.

The longer daylight hours, meaning lights are rarely needed except in the wee early hours of the morning.

Afternoon snacking that involves peaches canned last summer and a dollop of cottage cheese in my work coffee mug.

Long phone calls with old, dear friends that I don’t chat with nearly enough. 

The planning (if not the actual crafting just yet, I have plenty of time) of two baby quilts for two dear friends and wonderful mamas.  This will be the fourth quilt I’ve made for one of these mama’s babies and that just makes me happy.

Watching Jon Stewart and The Daily Show online, I go through phases with this show and right now I’m in the total adoration phase.  Jon just makes me laugh.

What moments are you enjoying?

Cuddles with my LO while reading her books. And cuddling up in bed/ on the sofa reading my own books at the end of the day.

Digging my hands in the soil while creating a new organic garden.

Crafting, crafting, crafting (any time, any place, any project…I have many on the go at the same time)

Family dinners & dinners with friends. The relaxed, loving atmosphere.

The more and more common moments where my two-year-old daughter plays by herself! Phew!

Quietness at work right now…

The sun is trying to peek out, & there was NO snow on the ground this morning…

Reading about an air quality report online, & seeing that Kootenai County rated an A. Here’s the URL:

I am smiling with you…

I am enjoying tea, crochet edging on baby sweater, and the knowledge that most of my week’s responsibilities are finished.

The quiet ones – waking before anyone else does, making tea and shuffling around my yard, inspecting plants and watering seedlings. Lovely.

Working in the garden and tending my seedlings.

The first small harvests from the garden.

Flowers on the table, from the garden.

Snuggling with Himself.

A visit last night from two friends whom we don’t see nearly enough of.

Thankyou for having posts like these. I Often get caught up in the hustle and bustle of life and forget to pay attention.

I am paying attention to my dog. He has been a really good dog lately. It is spring and he has not run off once and I praise him every day.

My Pre three year old is quite the marvel these days …so talkative…so boy….so enjoying playing outside while mama gardens

I am enjoying each stitch on the knitting needles as I work on a new sweater for myself.

I am enjoying the vigil in the garden as I await the prout of green things from the soil.
