...saw this today, and thought it rather lovely...
and then this spoke to me,
and then this caught my eye,
for no other, apparent reason that their Beauty.

Attention All You DIYers!
I keep seeing pictures like this in decorating magazines.
I want to do this.
I've bought the mirror...BUT
how the heck do you adhere a mirror on mirror?
HELP!
It's 10:00am Master Jack!
It's 10:00am Master Jack
The sun is shinning!
The pool is waiting!
The dogs are waiting with their ball!
Tea and pancakes on the table!
Okay...just another 5 minutes
...the day can wait.
I love you Master Jack!

Not Going to Steal My Joy
It's been a really crummy week.
People who don't deserve to draw breath have been behaving
very badly.
And, like the idiot I can be sometimes, I have
given them power over me by falling prey to their bullying ways.
Well, no more.
Just because someone says it, does not make it so.
Do your worst.
I live in the safety of my conscience.
I know I am a good person.
Whatever happens happens...but in the meanwhile
the sun continues to rise,
beauty surrounds me
and love lives in my house.
Do your worst I say... you are NOT going to steal my joy.

Just Peachy
Today was Niagara on the Lake's Peach Festival
our high street was closed to traffic for All Things Peach.
pies...
pastries...
jams and relish.
A peach pie contest
They were tasting pie number 7 of 17 when I was there!
Serious comments...
Beautiful singers...
and a sexy choir mistress.
Santa in August?
locally grown corn on the cob
cooking in two antique steam engines
delicious!
Happy to say the EMTs had absolutely nothing to do.
Merchants had their wares for sale
and all in celebration of this glorious fruit

Two things today
Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary.
What we need is to love without getting tired.
How does a lamp burn? Through the continuous input of small drops of oil.
...My daughters, what are these drops of oil in our lamps?
They are the small things of daily life:
faithfulness,
punctuality,
small words of kindness,
a thought for others,
our way of being silent,
of looking,
of speaking,
and of acting,
These are the true drops of love....
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
- Mother Teresa
This morning I found this photo that I had taken at an antique market in Paris, it made me smile.
This morning I found this saying by Mother Teresa, it made my heart sing.
