Simple pleasures of mine from the last few days;

Create a new vignette for my kitchen island.  Bring out the old glass bottles.  Walk around the house and pick some fresh flowers.

Place it all on a white plate, all the while wishing I posessed some of your artistic, flower arranging skills.

Bring the lamp down from the attic.  New view to look at each morning, when I walk into my kitchen.  Flowers and ambience add happiness to my day.  I get a bit bored with the same view, just like my blog banners:)

 

We enjoyed time with the little guys.  Feeding ducks seemed like a big adventure to them. 

For us, it was a relaxing way to spend an afternoon.

 

Especially at such a quaint, old, local park.

After the park, we had lunch at a local sandwich place.

Rare and treasured moments spent together.  Old and young learning from each other.

Do you sense a theme in this post?

Old bottles, an old park, and the "old" ones.

 

I never remember a summer with such gorgeous sunsets.

Breathtaking beauty that can make any day eventful.

This was taken early last evening.

 

 

And this was taken later in the evening.  I know you have seen a multitude of sunsets here on this blog.  I look at all that is happening in the current events of the world, and find it calms and quiets my heart when I see such supernatural beauty given to us as a gift from our Creator.  At the end of a day, no matter what that day held for me, whether joy or sadness, it brings comfort to me when I take in scenes like a brilliant sunset.  See the bird on the wire.

It is a brand new week and I pray that whatever it holds, you will find time for some simple pleasures that bless and comfort your heart.

Thank you for stopping by.
