Late Sunday, February.

It's late. Really late. I'm sitting in my living room on the couch, with a freshly folded stack of warm towels. It's quiet, except for the slight humming from the refrigerator and the ticking of a nearby clock. I've been thinking about today and how fast it went by. It was a really good day for all of us. Productive. The guys have been cutting down pine trees for the past two days and we now have huge stacks of fire wood for our outside fire pit. The backyard feels more sunny and roomy. Which is great for the garden and clothesline. Still lots to be done. 

Today was a beautiful day, in the low 70's. We had a light lunch outside by the fire while swinging and chatting. This evening, I made the best pot of homemade vegetable beef soup while doing some laundry and indoor chores. What better way to end the day, than with a bowl of comfort food and a new episode of 'The Walking Dead'? Happy Monday, Y'all!!

Light & Love,
Diane

Things that make me happy!





There is so much to be happy about these days. All of the beauty that surrounds us. All of the wonderful people in our lives. Sunrises. Sunsets. A lot. For me, it's always been about the simple things. And really surrounding yourself daily with 'little pieces of  happy' is key. I think we all know what we like and what we don't like. What makes us happy and what doesn't. Sometimes, writing them down is a good way to remind yourself of who you are and what you want. Maybe a good way to add a little bit of happiness back into your everyday life. What makes you happy?? Here is just a glance of what makes me happy daily...
