I'm looking forward to more daylight too. And my daffodils are blooming on a hillside just outside my dining room window which makes me smile every time I walk by. Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteNice gratitude list- how wonderful to spend time with your son and it's the neatest thing that you guys get maple syrup from your own trees! It must taste extra "sweet!" Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhh it is so nice that we are on the downhill slide into Spring. New Life and new adventures. Have a great week my friend. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo. We didn't see the robins, but we sure heard them the other day when we were choring. I told hubby we survived winter :) and heading into the next season, sure feels good. Tho I know we can have some more snow and I'm hoping it's a sugar snow.
ReplyDeleteThe days are definitely getting longer. Can't wait for the clock change later this month.
ReplyDeleteThose are all good sentiments. Maple syrup! I like the reminder to be grateful, I need to heed that today and every day.
ReplyDeleteI’m in total agreement! March is a lovely month of Hope after a long winter. Enjoy your week ahead.
ReplyDeleteOh, the first Robin sighting, how wonderful that is. He is a gentle and unafraid bird. Spending time with your son is pure joy. And chicken noodle soup on a cold day is so soothing and delicious. Thank you for always sharing your joy with us, Carla.

**also, thank you for your story today about your grandparent's home and Indian Hill. That was interesting. I love the fact that it is still called that to this day. : )
This stripped fungus is so pretty! I have not seen a Robin yet, but am on the lookout!
ReplyDeleteI am really looking forward to the longer and warmer days.
ReplyDeleteThat photo is so beautiful. Those all sounds so perfect! Debby
ReplyDeleteWe saw about 10 robins while it was snowing on branches of a bare tree back in January. We said...go back South you crazy birdies. {smile} Glad you were able to spend time with Atticus. Janice
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful list of joyful things!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy the month of March, out earlier today and the Spring flowers are really beginning to grow well, so nice to see.
ReplyDeleteMay you have a good month and enjoy the week ahead.
All the best Jan
hey Carla...I hope you will post pictures of your tapped trees. I've never seen this before. How exciting!! Must mean that Spring is around the corner....
ReplyDeleteI love your list. No Robins here yet but I know Spring is lurking around the corner.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Julia
I loved your list of special things that make you smile Carla! A really great activity to do! Yummy maple syrup! That's so exciting to make your own! And I agree the little things like shadows and ice cream just make us smile along with the good memories we made while enjoying them! Blessings to you! Happy March!
ReplyDeleteThat photo is gorgeous, Carla! I think you should frame it and put it in your charming cottage..and three cheers for longer days!! Woo hoo!!
ReplyDeleteYes! I am happy with more daylight.
ReplyDeleteMaple syrup? Yum. Now I want some pancakes!
Loving all of these "joys" for you!
ReplyDeleteI love fresh sheets; I would change my bed every day if I weren't too lazy, haha! But I do change the sheets twice a week just because I love that fresh-sheet feeling and fragrance! This is the second time in as many days that my consciousness has been raised to chicken noodle soup. I remarked on the other blog that I have never made chicken noodle soup from scratch and it is probably high time I did so. Calls for some celery, no? xoxo
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely list. Fresh sheets are such a joy!!
