-Something about this photo that makes me in such a good mood (so sorry for not remembering the source of this one!!!)
-Having my favourite tea in my cup again after beeing empty for it for such a looooong time: I LOVE (and are addicted to) Green of London by Le Palais Des Thes.
-Found a knitting project that i think i want to make for myself this autumn. It is a long time since i have made something for myself now because i enjoy so much knitting for other people...*smiling*...... Just sent a parcel with some knitted "goodies" to a beautiful soul the other day, excited to get to know if she likes them!
-Not raining today-hurrayhurrayhurraaaaayyyyyyy!!!
-Finally planted a climbing hortensia in my garden, wished for one for ages. GROW BABY GROW!!
-Raspberry season has started here now. Going to eat tons of it, my favourite berry! Maybe also make some jam with it.....
-The dates for a visit from a far away friend is coming closer.
-The other day my mother found the recipe on my grandmothers delicious kringle, think i will try to bake it later today. Makes me think about happy childhood memories together with my grandmother. After i have grown up i notice that i am quite like her in many ways..... For me both of my grandmothers were like precious jewels to me.....i cherished them deeply......so grateful for the time i got to spend with them!!
-Think it is very nice that many of you want to join my book-away.....makes me glad. Look forward to "draw" the reciever...
-Finding the most beautiful poem in an e-mail this morning written by a lovely blogger that is going to be guest posting here soon.
-Organic oatmeal sprinkeld with lots of berries are ready to be eaten now,
see you later.....*smiling*....
AN UPDATE:
-Found the lovliest letter in my post-box today that i read outside while sitting under the branches from a big old tree. My dear friend had also put with a pretty ginko leaf in the letter, it's now hanging on my wall.
-When my sweet husband came home from work today he had bought with some fresh strawberries and raspberries...yummmm...
By the way: What makes you happy these days??
what makes me really happy are simple things, like you.
ReplyDeleteTea, knit, music and slow hot days.
Being here on a Monday in July, alive and well, listening to the rain, reading your blog, asking myself questiones I can't answer - those are the little, yet very important, things that makes me happy.
ReplyDeletex
you make me happy
ReplyDeletewith this great picture
(I definitely will have my hear grown)
and
the good coffee I drank this morning
the book I am reading
the flower on the table
and the sunspots this morning
and the walk I will have now
with Splinter before it will rain again
love

I am including the link to a You Tube video about loving grandmothers and their grandchildren. I saw the young woman who sings this perform in June a year ago and then again just a few weeks ago. The song still brings tears to my eyes, not matter how many times I've heard it. I hope that you can open it. If not - go to You Tube and type in "You Are Royalty to Me" by Ellis
