your blog!
hearing "play ball" for the start of a new season.
unscheduled mornings.
knitting projects.
I love your photos. Your peonies are spectacular; I don't have any personally, but I've been enjoying sneaking peeks at other people's around town. Here are some other simple pleasures I've been enjoying:
~Playing with my son as he explores outside and discovers things like sprinklers and hoses.
~Finally getting to plant my flowers and vegetables.
~Picking out new house colors with my husband.
~Grilling with friends.
And the list goes on. ; )
Your rusted root looks great - you're so far along. I need to get knitting. I love that photo of your girls - sisters are the best.
Lovely photos! I'd have to say that your favorite pure & simple things are some of mine also, substituting my kid(s) for yours! (LOL) Your peonies are wonderful! I just love them; one of these days I'll have a bush or two.
Great photos that capture the weekend!
Things bringing me pleasure:: outdoor water play with my kids, minor league baseball, reading, knitting mittens, sewing gifts, planning for summertime road trips.

My peonies just started to open! I love going out to the garden every day and collecting fragrant flowers to brighten up our space with. Thanks for sharing

I also like your book, been a long time since i read it, should read it again.
I'm so jealous of your peonies! I wish we could grow those down here.
Hi Lisa...lovely peonies...mine are just about ready to open. I enjoyed your pure and simple list. I am so enjoying my blooming garden. I read that same book about 20 years ago...great book! The lemon balm tea, you asked about? Pick a couple of leaves...rub them in your fingers a little to bruise them, grab your favorite mug, then put the leaves in a litte tea strainer, pour boiling water over and let stand for 5 minutes...then sip away...very soothing!!!
Seeing the strawberry patch spread across the back field...
Apple trees in blossom...
Kids with popsicles...
love this post. great pictures. rusted root is going to be awesome!
I think looking at all the green is nice and I actually enjoy the thunderstorms when inside a cozy house.
