Joy List Monday

Joy List Monday
a weekly ritual 

♥ a reminder to stop and pay attention
to the little beauties and graces
 that make life magical and set aside time for gratitude each day  ♥


 ♥ attending a Garden Expo with my husband
♥ getting creative and making a Log Succulent Planter


snow and more snow.. spending time out doors skiing and snowshoeing
 ♥ Valentine treats from friends and family
 

 ♥ a phone call from my son who is stationed at Fort Gordon, Georgia
♥ sunshine making the snow sparkle like diamonds

  3. Aww so sweet to get that call I bet! I love sparkly snow. We don't have any so I'll imagine yours. The garden expo must have been wonderful. I love succulents too!

  4. A call from your son must have been so appreciated. Far away but always close to the heart.
    Your little succulent garden looks promising. I started some Geranium seeds on the 13 and 4 have sprouted so I planted another 10 seeds today.
    Have a great day.
    Hugs, Julia

  11. I love succulents, and have made a little log succulent garden myself! They are so fun! So wonderful to talk to your son! I've been skyping with my daughter in Spain. It's hard to have them so far away, but thankful for the modes of communication we have! We can video chat, and that really makes it nice. Our dogs miss her too, and when Annie (the German Shepherd) hears her voice, she goes and hides, she really misses Danielle. I know you are so proud of your son. Enjoy the snow and all the snow activities, snow much fun! Blessings :)
