• July is on the doorstep. Summer with all its fun, and its humidity, has settled in. And I'm okay with that. With all the upheaval and uncertainty going right now, the flow of months and seasons feels normal and predictable. Dependable. It feels right:) My twinkle lights each evening also make me feel happy. My (totally unintentional) attempt at hygge!:) #nighttime #hygge #twinklelights #junejoy #bringonjuly

  • Today's prompt:zoom in. I'm no photographer and the photo got a bit fuzzy....but I do love pretty flowers! The weather hasn't been too terribly oppressive....the grass is still green and the flowers are beauties! Totally unrelated, today's blog post is a monthly lineup, Share Four Somethings....and I mentioned some other things I'm loving this month. Hard to believe...another month. Almost done. Wow. #lovingsummer #lovinglife #junejoy #sharefoursomethings #stopbytheblog #linkinbio

  • I love farm markets in the summer! As well, there are several farms in our area that sell directly from their farm. We have been searching out and visiting different ones. I love the fresh eggs and cheese, local honey, fresh maple syrup, and all sorts of organic homemade products! Of course, the animals are cute too! We ooh and ahh...like the true city folk we are! This cutie refused to look at us once we fed her some corn...but I'm sure she liked us:) #farmlife #cityslicker #pigsarecute

  • Kindness. This week, a stranger paid for my husband's lunch. The car before him in the drive thru:) I know that was a trend for awhile and have heard of it being done...but, well, never expected it to actually happen. My husband was concerned at first (that a mistake had been made) but once he discovered it was an act of kindness...he was excited. We both were! Our reaction? We wanted to do it for someone!! Kindness is contagious like that!! That is not a picture of my husband's lunch...but this isn't really about fast food burgers. Or even paying for someone else's lunch. Kindness is shared in many, many ways....but here's to a day of sharing kindness. Perhaps starting a train of repeated acts of kindness! Happy Friday! #junejoy #kindness #benicetoday #photofromunsplash

  • Our last vacation. Seems hard to believe it was just last year. Why does it feel like a lifetime ago? Thankful for today's prompt...and a quick look down memory lane. This trip was one of new places and new experiences for us. It was fun but very relaxing....a reenergixing of spirit as well as a restoring of soul!! #junejoy #walnutcreek #vacation2019 #letsgoagain

  • Today's to do list. It includes more donation drop offs....which I have been working on all week. I have several places to go and most are open only a few hours, but I'm making progress. #happydance Also on the the list today is cleaning out these pots of fall pansies. They lasted extra long this year but are officially spent. The problem is they are on my patio....the patio where a black snake has recently made himself at home. #ihatesnakes I know its black. It is (supposedly) helpful and it (supposedly) will not eat me alive. But I no longer go out back. And I miss my patio!! #junejoy #itsfriday #snaketrouble #todolist

  • My work station. A desk that belonged to my dad. Pictures of my favorite people and walls full of good memories. Flooded with early morning light....and it is just about the perfect spot for me to be creative and productive! Today's blog post is some of my favorite things about summer....that early morning sun is definitely one of them! #junejoy #hellosunshine #morningsarethebest #bloglinkinprofile
