Joy List Monday

 


While cleaning our fresh garden lettuce, I found this heart. 

 ♥

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

♥ fresh garden produce

♥ heat and humidity... everything in the garden is growing

♥ helping move our boys... spending time with them

♥ lighting bugs dancing in the garden at dusk

♥ sun tea with lemon

Wishing you a beautiful week full of little things that make you smile.

  1. I love your Joy List Monday. Each of these things I know brings sunshine to your life. And...the little green heart was just waiting for you to find it. You are so right Carla...we need to stop and pay attention to all the little blessings of life.

  2. That is the neatest photo, Carla. Love that one. I hope your sons' move goes smoothly. I saw the fireflies when I lived in So Cal. They are really cool. Sun tea with lemon sounds refreshing during these hot summer days. I appreciate your "joy list" posts, Carla. And I appreciate what a grateful person you are.

  4. That heart is awesome! I do try to thank God daily for my blessings. Our garden isn't doing to well in the heat we have had. So the boys moved? We don't have lighting bugs here but I remember them well from Illinois. You have a beautiful week too.

  5. I enjoyed reading your joy list! That little heart you found in your garden is so adorable. I've always been fascinated by lightning bugs, but I've never seen them in the Bay Area or here in Northern California. I remember being captivated by them as a child when we visited family in Tennessee, Ohio, and Indiana. I do wish we had them here
