Blessings and Raindrops

seeking joy in the midst of the ordinary

weekend smiles.

A few things that made me smile this weekend…
1}. The chill in the air on these cool, fall mornings. {And, the way the morning fog drapes the landscape out here on the farm}. 

2}. An afternoon spent with friends. {These little ones have celebrated Halloween together over the years…it makes me smile to see the way they have all grown together…and a little misty-eyed too}.

3}. These works of art. {And, the fact that my friend, Leslie, is always brave enough for craft projects at her house…}

4}. This concert series created to feed little tummies. {And, the fact that we have a standing date night with some of our favorite old and new friends once a month}. 

5}. This stay-cation. {Our floors were being finished and we had to evacuate due to the smell. What a fun night it turned out to be: jumping on beds, sneaking in our pup in my purse, swimming, riding the elevator, breakfast buffet. All things magical to these littles}.

6}. This little love. {Because she just makes me smile. All the time}. 

7}. This girl carrying her pumpkin to the party. {Because, you can take the girl out of Africa, but you can’t take Africa out of the girl…}

8}. This Halloween celebration with dear friends and old neighbors. {Because I adore yearly traditions and miss our neighborhood pals}. 

9}. This photo. {Because, these two. She loves her daddy to pieces}.

10}. My little artists. {Because they have always loved to create. And, I have always loved to watch it happen}. 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend, also! 
I’ll start back up with my Tour through Blogland next Monday. Sorry about starting that and then just abandoning it for two weeks…my gals had some unforeseen stuff come up. But, these are worth the wait. They’re going to be good!!

weekend smiles.

A few things that made me smile this weekend…
1. This dinner plus the most delicious homemade bread of all time. {Three of my Seven foods. Eaten alfresco. Awww…spring}. 

2. These hard workers helping daddy prep our garden {they had to take off their shirts to work. I don’t know why. It’s a boy thing}.

3. This look: halloween pajamas, drill and safety goggles. {Why would anyone consider wearing anything else to the grocery store with daddy}? 

4. This reminder during a much needed run. {These trees are bare and bleak but spring is coming and new life will be blooming soon. Much like the seasons in our life. Ecclesiastes 3:1}.

5. Fort construction chaos and giggles.
