So it’s mid-May and here are few notes on the simultaneous highs and lows of life. No craftiness, DIY or fancy stuff happening in the kitchen. Life is full and the days are bittersweet. So just a bit of a week recap with a few things happening in my little sphere.
And while I debate the magnolia tree for the front yard, today a sunny afternoon to plant some pansies in containers by the back door with this one to keep me company. An unexpected simple happiness as the day had promised thunderstorms. Instead I am in bare feet gardening and chasing the dog who has snatched some of my ornamental grasses.
Again no time for dishes. Earlier in the week, an opportunity to accompany grade fours on a field trip on another sunny day as they learned about owls and hawks and disgusting facts about vultures, right up their alley. Google that for some fascinating dinner-time conversation like we had!
In other education notes this week Miss P is accepting an offer to university for the fall. Some of you are, or have been in that place, and know how that is. A little bittersweet. Or a lot.
But in simpler things my little succulent is still alive and pretty in her shabby-chic pot. But maybe it’s time to lose the bunny, what do you think? I might replace it with something that I’ll buy with the $100 Etsy gift card I just won from Shauna’s giveaway at Satori Design for Living here. I love how Shauna starting springifying her porch, and guess what, I also win a boxwood wreath like she has hanging on her door. Don’t you love it? I do!
So that’s mid-May. Hoping there are blooms or balloons or other sweet notes to blend into your mid-May too.
Sharing is lovely...
