Oh, I LOVE this...


Green beany vines that look like hearts. I would love to climb this beanstalk.

Clear night skies filled with silent winking asterisks.

Everything-but-the-kitchen-sink cookies.

Standing under tall rainy dripping trees... so I can look up and watch the drops fall down, down, like tiny minnows swimming head first toward my squinting eyes.

Looking at things upside down, then right side up, then upside down again.

Scavenging the beach for smooth Saturn-like stones with mysterious rings around them.

Dog sneezes

Books of wind up birds and sugar queens and elegant hedgehogs.

The complete and utter charm that has overtaken me by a sweet little girl who loves bellybuttons. Hers and yours.

Getting a Hug in the mailbox from my thoughtful, hugable Grandma.

Deciduous trees just starting to glow. (I love the word deciduous.)

Static cling sparks in the dark.

The world just keeps infusing my soul with loveable things!

  1. A wonderful photo. A wedding took place today - 2 houses away, on the cross corner, people I don't know. Katie & I snuck into the next door neighbor's back yard to peep. There is something about love being proclaimed, be it weddings or fabulous vines, that just makes me feel that all is right in the world, no matter what.

    I love your list. I am going to turn off the lights and try to make static cling sparks before I sleep. Thank you.

  11. SO lovely! I love the picture & this list, but most of all, I love your view of the world. I love that you look so deeply into the small details all around you and of life. It makes me feel like it's okay - you won't miss anything!! There is a level of deep appreciation about you that makes me grin and want to dash over for a cup of tea and a walk. It's now about the millionth time I wish we lived closer!!

    I'm seriously beginning to cosmic order a trip to the west coast.

    love to you!!!

  25. Dog sneezes are the best, aren't they? And the way they put their paws up to their noses when they have a tickle there!

    Stopping by from Relyn's, and so glad that I did. Lovely list and images. By the way, I used to lay on the couch or in a chair with my head hanging off (upside down) and would often imagine myself walking on the ceiling, stepping over the doorways....
