...that make me happy these days.
In our garden, not much is happening, but I can still find some beautiful color in our kumquat tree (delicious little fruit!),
our ornamental cabbage,
and little pansies.
In our kitchen, I love my fun little handmade tags to help me remember what's in all my jars,
my favorite little bowl from the south of France...
...filled with cashews,
A freshly baked loaf of no-knead bread (click here for link to recipe - I use half whole wheat flour and make 1 1/2 recipes for a larger loaf),
and delicious garlic and kale soup to go with the bread.
And on my and Winslow's walk this morning, taking this one-handed snapshot of an egret.
On the Internet, I have fallen in love with Lily, the black bear, whom you can watch through a web cam that's been installed outside her den. Click here and it will take you to the North American Bear Center and the web cam. Lily gave birth to one cub a few days ago -- it's all very exciting!
Something else that makes me happy: your comments, your visits, your friendship, and your blogs!!
And -- drum roll please - that my little blog has over 200 followers! I am dumbstruck!! I remember when I had the first three followers and I thought I had arrived, that I had made it big! Three people who thought I had something to offer. Now more than 200! How is that possible?!? Well, that definitely calls for a giveaway in the very near future!! In the meantime, a heartfelt thank you!! That makes me happy!
What are the little things that make you happy?
