The Loveliness That Is Life

I must confess straight up my gratitude for ye olde iphone. 99.9% of our life is captured on its camera, and I'm yet to download any fancy apps...I know, I can't believe it either. Shannyn has more than once showed me all the great things I could do, if I actually utilized the potential....

But, that's really beside my point here. I wanted to pay tribute to days gone by. So many joyous moments, so much beauty everyday, if I'm paying attention....here are a few I noticed and captured....

Loveliness is picking flowers from the garden and putting them in jars around the house. Extra lovely is when the boys join me...Here is Oskar creating an original arrangement (and I am absolutely NOT allowed to rearrange).

Loveliness is a beach holiday in Agnes Water in winter....the kids do not let the chilly breeze at dusk stop them from getting wet with their new friend.

Loveliness is Op shopping. Collecting preloved tablecloths is becoming at bit of an addiction...I will dedicate a whole blog to all the joy the treasures bring...crockery,lamps,dresses etc.,etc.

Loveliness is art and craft. Mess allowing is mandatory, as paint is by no means restricted to paper...just come check out our front porch, and the furniture on it...Oh and the gate, and the railings...

Obviously sunsets are loveliness. However, this one would not have been noticed if I hadn't come outside and stopped fussing around the house.

Watching Tobey and Oskar play with their friends is sheer loveliness.

So I have documented the loveliness here. Do not worry, there's plenty of horrid,stressful,crazy moments in life, by no means misunderstand...I don't tend to take photos of them, they pass and the Loveliness remains....
