Simple pleasures of a summer weekend

Blackberries along our country road + Just beginning to ripen + Only enough to eat while standing

"Welcome Home from Camp" party for my girl + Visit from a dear friend + Talking into the wee hours + Pancake breakfast for a full house + Farmer's Market jaunt

Hanging out at Grandpa's + Playing in the dirt + Add water + So much fun they don't want to walk home

Sunday lunch with Grandma and Grandpa Y + Downtown Asheville craft show + Finding special treasures + Home + Bubbles on the porch + Brown Cow ice cream pops + Reading a beautifully illustrated edition of The Wizard of Oz (thank you Jeannette! Owen loves it!) + Bed

Lovely days + Lovely weekend + Lovely life

"How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives." Annie Dillard in The Writing Life
"Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy." Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace is Every Step
"A joyful life is an individual creation that cannot be copied from a recipe." Mihaly Csikczentmihaly, Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience
"There are many ways to live a good life." Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
"If we think we have no stories it is because we have not paid enough attention to our lives. Most of us live lives that are far richer and more meaningful than we appreciate." Ruth Naomi Remen, MD, Kitchen Table Wisdom
"Nothing else will ever make you as happy, or as sad, or as proud, or as tired, as motherhood." Elia Parsons
