Thankful {things I love} Thursday ...

for my ears

***

the sweet, content coos from the doves who watch me as I putter about at the potting table

for my eyes

***

(and nose) … the lilac is blooming!

what a gorgeous sight and scent they bring

for my mouth

***

one of the easiest and tastiest pasta salads

rotini pasta* celery* carrots*broccoli * black olives * cherry tomatoes

oil and vinegar and spices

for my soul

***

my little potting table under the pergola

for my feet

***

sharing the warm grass with his feet

(that thankfully, are always beside mine)

for my hands

*** 

wreath making

it was time to change up the urns 

but the pussy willow that had been sitting in them from Easter was still looking good,

so I cut it into shorter pieces, turned them into bundles and created a wreath 

"let's be like wildflowers

letting our souls  be scattered by the wind.

let us grow wild and free

tall and brave

in places that we dream,

in the places where our longings are filled.

let us grow between the cracks

of brokenness 

and we will make everything

beautiful"
