Joy in the Ordinary

Look around, really look around and you will find joy... joy in the everyday... joy in the ordinary things.



The weather has started to change.  I am not quite ready for summer to slip away and have been enjoying my blooms before they are gone. 


The cooler temperature have made it nice to have a cup of tea and some quiet time on the back porch.  

The trees are just starting to change.  I am hopeful for a wonderful display of color due to an abundance of rainfall this summer.  


A few autumn decorations have been put out and cooler weather items are starting to appear on the menu.  


A Sunday afternoon ice cream treat. 


Megan has been hunting like "Pa."  (with an old toy gun) Hum, are we reading too many Little House books?!  


"Look Mama, I am homeschooling my ducks!"  *smile*  


Life seems to be flying by at the moment.  I am trying to slow it down  (ha!) and savor the moments.  

May your day be filled with joy and contentment!
