It made me remember that growing up we never had our eggs in an egg carton, but always in a basket or a bowl or - later on - a wire basket that looked like a chicken. They look so much prettier out of their normal container, don't you think?
A simple joy. That's what that is for me.
And here are some others:
✼ taking Winslow for a walk in the dark this morning
✼ Ramses coming with us for half the walk and then waiting for us to return
✼ fresh air that smelled to me of mornings in Germany when I was growing up
✼ the wind in the tree tops
✼ owls hooting somewhere nearby
✼ a hot cup of tea next to me
✼ snuggling back into bed and blogging for a while
✼ getting inspired with every one of your blogs I visit
✼ reading and loving every comment you leave me
✼ my knitting waiting patiently for the few rows I knit every morning
✼ a whole day ahead to do with as I please...
Wishing you a day filled with simple joys!

I love the photo of the eggs in the bowl! I grew up in the south and had to collect eggs from the hen house as a kid. There was no egg carton! LOL Usually we just wrapped them up in a dish cloth until we got them inside and washed them off!...Ahh Yes! Simply chicken pleasures! ^_^ Nice post, Silke!
ReplyDeleteWell, they just look so much nicer in that bowl! I just keep them in the carton.
ReplyDeleteLove your gratitude lists Silke! I so need to start my own. You are always an inspiration!
Hugs,

I used to have a red coated wire egg basket for collecting eggs; it had a cone shape up the center so the weight of the eggs wouldn't crack any.
ReplyDeleteI even liked the old crinkly cardboard egg cartons, but hate the new ones. The eggs always come out when I get them home. Ick. They make squeaky noises......
Here's to baskets and bowls!
XXOO~~
