Up with the roosters (and my children) at dawn has enabled me to start this post and my second cup of tea. I bought white roses (baby roses) as well as some deep crimson red ones that I put into a small jar on my fireplace and that little breath of life alone has opened up a whole new possibility of spring for me.
I have a stack of books to read, lots of Earl Grey to drink & all the potential for a happy productive weekend tucked away neatly where I will pull it out when the moment requires it.
Magnetic poetry yields some interesting sentences on our fridge....so much fun to create them. I think I'll wear pink striped socks today and cast any preconcieved notions about this day aside....to just let it flow and be enjoyed.
There is much to be thankful for. Off now to catch the light and photograph those roses...have a most happy day everyone. xoxo
Sounds like a brighter day. Be good and if you cannot handle that, at least have fun!

"cast any preconcieved notions about this day aside....to just let it flow and be enjoyed"....needed those words this morning so very much.
Thank you for them. So glad you have found some goodies to bring you to a cozier place...Enjoy the tea and books and the weekend !

catching light means:
NO Purple Haze
NO Purple Rain
which leaves you only
Purple Passion.
yippee!
:-)
hope your day is filled with passion, missy!

Oh my, I am drinking some piping hot Earl Grey right this very moment--with a touch of Savannah Bee Company honey and soy creamer--heaven!
Have a beautiful weekend, beautiful girl. xoxo

I have never tried the poetry magnets. Sounds like a cool activity to do with my daughter when she's older. Have a fabulous weekend!
Thank you:)

Red is on my refrigerator, but purple would be a lovely, royal addition. I hope you are having a wonderful day photographing roses. I will be photographing daffodils. We just need those little touches to lift our spirits and flowers are the best.

I have a vase of pink popsicle carnations and pale baby pink roses on my china cabinet and they fill my heart with hope for the growth, the sunshine of SPRING!! Yum!
