Nice Things

A lot of nice things look like everyday life so they're easy to miss. But the good news is there's a lot of everyday life so you can start to notice all the nice things anytime you want. Lori Heteen

I'm celebrating a couple of nice things today from my everyday life.

I'm revisiting a puzzle I bought a couple years ago from Kate Savage, an artist we met on our trip to Cranberry Island. 

Paul and I are excited to be going back to the island in June!

I've added some of my favorite glow in the dark hand painted rocks to my puzzle table...they've been tucked in the drawer for a while. (You can see all three in the above photo.) 

The many layered story about where these rocks came from is one of my favorites of all time. You can read it here:

I'm also celebrating that my own little patch of grape hyacinths is blooming in the backyard. They're one of my favorite spring blooms....and I'm celebrating them in regular photo mode..... 

and the magic of portrait mode.

And maybe one of the nicest things of all....

is that the hummingbirds are back. 

I took the photo through the patio door...so it's not the best. 

Everyday life is a good.
