What I'm lovin' today

These new bee boxes in our garden. The kids that came to my daughter's birthday party last weekend had a ball painting them. Doesn't it just make you happy looking at them?

All of the flowers that are blooming in our yard right now. I splurged several years ago with some gift money and bought a hundred daffodil bulbs. I'm so glad I did because now there are at least three hundred blooming. My garden is my sacred place...

Family and friends who are so dear to me and make my life rich. I am incredibly lucky and generously loved . This sweet bee was created for my daughter by our friends. Doesn't that bee seem to being eyeing the flower seeds on the table? At this very moment, I am licking a spoonful of cream cheese frosting left over from this cake. It's perfect with my tea... what?! Don't tell me that you've never eaten the left over frosting! At least I used a spoon instead of my finger this time.

I love it all-- esp. the bee boxes. What a great party idea, too. And yes, I eat the frosting. My husband was once roundly chastized for rinsing out an unlicked bowl:)

Oh, and thanks for your kind words today, too. This is a hard age-- for both of us. But we are surviving and learning-- and I appreciate the reminder to go easy on myself. I know I'm my own toughest critic.

How big are those boxes? They will look great with flowers growing inside.
