Joy List Monday
a weekly ritual
a reminder to stop and pay attention to the little beauties and graces
that make life magical and to set aside time for gratitude each day
♥ my life as a mom to boys
mischief that teen boys like to do to their mom ... any guesses from the photo above
♥ fresh fruit
♥ summer
♥ birds taking a bath in the bird bath
♥ summer bon fires
♥ hanging out laundry
♥ kind strangers
Water Balloons! Well, I can only guess! I love watching the birds bathe, too! The way they flip and flop around is so funny. They take dust baths, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Carla, Love your list today. It is so nice to enjoy fresh fruit on these hot summer days! xo
ReplyDeleteLove this joylist!!! I'm guessing there was a fun water balloon fight recently - that makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI think I prefer water balloons to snowball fights! ha ha. At least it's hot weather and they cool you down, right?
ReplyDeleteI am thinking mommy got all wet..?? I had four daughters, they and their families are my joy. You have listed some really good things. Now if you can get those boys shipped off to summer camp, haha. :) Blessings to you and your boys, xoxo, Susie
ReplyDeleteFun to read your joy list, Carla. :-)
ReplyDeleteThese are always lovely! You'll miss those water balloons one day. :)
ReplyDeleteLove seeing the birds splash in the bird baths too. Have a great summer day.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Kris
Water balloons are so much fun :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on becoming a master gardener!! I'm so happy for you and look forward to many more tips, like the post about the lilacs :)
I loved the story you shared about the 92 year old. She has the right attitude about things. I'm also glad you didn't loose anyone on your route.
xoxo,

Oh I do like your joy list ...
ReplyDeleteWater balloons can be such fun!
All the best Jan
I'm guessing you ended up wet! lol
ReplyDeleteOh, I remember the water balloons well. My kids loved those when they were young. Love your joy list!
ReplyDeleteWhy, oh why, don't I have a laundry line!?
ReplyDeleteSounds like summer is off to a wonderful start :)
Water balloons and teen boys? Sounds like an interesting combo ;).
ReplyDeleteBon fires are at the top of my list, and I'm so glad we have a fire pit.

So, so true! I like being a child once in awhile alongside my kids--although they do it much better! lol!
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been by. I'm trying to keep myself above water and now I have a wicked head cold. It's always something!
Enjoy your summer days and water balloons!

Water balloons are a classic harbinger of summer and I am always willing to get soaked!! Well, almost always! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe've really been enjoying watching the birds in our bird bath. Sometimes there are four or five at a time. They're pretty funny. I love fresh fruit, and this being summer that means smoothies are on the menu. Have fun with those boys of yours, Carla. Wish I could borrow them for a few days. Our home was the designated hang out for our son and his friends when he was a teen. They all called me "Mom" and loved to stay for dinner. I miss those days. Hugs, Nancy
ReplyDeleteBeing a mom to young kids in the summertime is amazing! I miss those days. I was a part-timer for many years, so your lovely thoughts bring back happy memories. :)
ReplyDeleteThat is a great list of joy....well maybe not the water balloons!!
