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 to set

aside time for gratitude each day.

 

our kitchen remodel is coming along well


 

new knobs


 

butcher block countertops.. a backslash behind the oven and a surprise gift in the mail from a friend, a lovely chicken kitchen towel

 

 

another surprise gift in the mail


 

a message from our son "I got promoted to Corporal today."



♥ our hens have been on winter holiday from laying eggs.. Valentine's day we received a special Valentine indeed, the first egg of 2022

On Friday we found three eggs in the nesting box.. looks like we are back in production.

  5. Son next door's hens are really producing now!!!! No more buying eggs here! :-)

    Are all the counter tops, butcher block? You only are showing one, so I ask.

    Hope you will read my 2/21 post. I'm worried... But proud of them, for being so brave.

    Gentle hugs

  9. So glad to see you're getting eggs again.....and on Valentine's Day! You must be so happy for your son, and a bit nervous at the same time. The blue cabinets and cupboard are charming, and the kitchen towel is a nice gift from a friend. You can see all your pretty dishes through the glass window. I've been wanting that for a long time. I've always loved how it looks. So much to be thankful for, Carla, and I enjoy sharing it all with you on your 'joy list' posts.

  10. Love your joy list, always so much to be thankful for! Love sweet gifts in the mail! And your kitchen redo looks amazing! I love the color you chose! How wonderful your chickens are back into egg production, that is always exciting :) Because we get such little light here in the winter, I leave a light on 2 hours in the morning, and 2 hours at evening, to give them a little extra light. This does help with my egg production during the winter. Have a blessed and wonderful week!

Does not surprise me with what a great young man he has become. Love the color of your cabinets in your kitchen so far. Soooooo pretty. I cannot wait to see it all done. xoxo Kris

  19. Your kitchen is a WOW!! I knew I was going to love it and it's glorious colors. How fun and warm and welcoming. The perfect place to sit with a nice cup of something hot and hear all about the rest of the room, your new book and your son's promotion...with some scrambled eggs, of course! xxoo
