Just an ordinary and lovely autumn morning

thank you so much sweet ingrid for these lovely wristwarmers, i am almost "living" in them!!

I have been enjoying some lovely morning walks the last days. Having the experience now with living with a weak body i don't take these walks for granted anymore and on most days these walks are actually something that i am too weak in my body to do. BUT the last days i have been able to do a little of these lovely walks and i KNOW that i look like a happy and curious child there i am walking. Yesterday i was so occupied with soaking in the beautiful autumn colors around me and collecting leaves and feathers that i didn't notice a big "bumb" in the road....in just a few seconds i was laying on the ground with my precious collection of nature treasures sprinkled around me......i collected my treasures and continued my walk with some bruises and quite a blushing face, luckely there were not a person to spot....'smiling*. After a little while i passed by the local  kindergarden, with my pockets full of apples given to me from a neighbours garden  and my hands filled with leaves and feathers. I guess i most have looked like quite a kindred spirit to the children that were playing outside because when they noticed me walking by they started to shout to me in pure excitment with their tiny sweet hands open trying to show me something: "look what we have found, come up here to us and look at what we have found!!" Of course i wanted to see!!! IT WAS SUGAR ANTS (lots of them), they had discovered a "family" of suger ants and they were so happy about it that they allowed them to crawl all over themselves.......thank goodness that they had thick autumn/winter clothes on. I went home again with a lovely feeling of having been invited to look at something precious....*smiling*...

And it is not only the walk itself that is good:
it is soooooo lovely to come back home again with cold cheecks, to sit down with a nice cup of warming tea....tiny everyday pleasures that carries a lot of happiness...
