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
♥ thrifting
♥ a big project completed with the help from our son's
we live in "an this old house" fresh "updated" insulation was needed in the attic
♥ a visit from Jack Frost
♥ a kiss of frost on the kale makes it sweeter, we enjoyed a delicious kale salad for dinner
♥ the last of the leaves fell, we now have bare trees
"As October ends, most of the branches are bare. We see more sky."

I love that green bowl!! Your pictures are so pretty, particularly the frosty ones. Have a nice week!
ReplyDeleteBob cooks for us 3 days a week. He is always trying new recipes. Some we like...others not so much. Your heating bill will be less since you insulated your attic now. We found some savings when we did ours years ago. We still have leaves on our flowering pear tree. Me thinks the snow that came last week froze them to the tree now. Its a weird sight to see them. You found some nice treasures. We dont have any thrift stores nearby. Hope you have a wonderful week my friend. Janice
ReplyDeletegreat finds on your thrifting trip!! new insulation makes me feel refreshed just knowing there is that extra layer of protection. we had some put in the attic a couple of years ago. and that Frost..it is beautiful in its own way. hugs Carla
ReplyDeleteYou can eat kale after it's been exposed to frost? That is something! And it tastes better? That is really cool (no pun intended!). Great thrift finds! Happy Monday!!
ReplyDeleteLove the frosty pic. What a beautiful capture. Have a good week. Hugs. Kris
ReplyDeleteThe frosty pic made me shiver!! Brr! We still have leaves, but they are falling!! Tell us about your new recipes!!
ReplyDeleteThe touch of frost and your kale salad sound amazing, too. Bare trees, new recipes, and cozy moments make this season feel so peaceful. I Wish you a beautiful week too
ReplyDeleteYour dinners look so good! And the frost on the Zinnia looks so beautiful!! I did not know you can eat veggies if they have frost on them! The leaf shot is very pretty as well. When the trees are bare, I like that you can see their entire structure.
ReplyDeleteCarla, your photos are beautiful, dear friend. The meals look scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely list, Carla!
ReplyDeleteThe frosted kale is definitely my favorite — I love how something so simple becomes extra special with a touch of winter.
Thanks for the inspiration. Wishing you a week full of small, sweet joys. ♥
You found some cute finds at the thrift store. It's always fun browsing through there. I'm glad to hear your big house project turned out well. What a pretty picture of the frost on the flower. And I love the photo of the golden leaves. Our trees are still lingering on, but we did get a big wind that blew many of the leaves off. Your meal looks delicious, Carla.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy November week, and thank you for these "joy list" posts. They really are delightful.

Well done on completing your big project.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves at this time of year are such wonderful colours ... there are still some on the trees here to fall.
Enjoy the week ahead.
All the best Jan
Pretty pictures of the frost.
ReplyDeleteI love the little things that make you smile, and those that make me smile, too!
ReplyDeleteHave a week filled with JOY!
What wonderful reasons to be happy! Great finds while thrifting and hooray for the insulation!
ReplyDeleteSo much goodness here! I didn't know that about kale. That is a big project in your attic. We had that done before we moved in..wow on doing it yourselves!! I always like finding and trying new recipes. We get in a rut for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat's great news on the insulation. Oh wow, you had frost! Interesting photos. The photo of the leaves is so pretty. Yum, your making me hungry. Take care.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. Well done on getting the insulating done. Always enjoy reading your joy list Carla

ReplyDeleteThat first purple color is breathtaking. I was recently deciding whether to invest in new carpet or pay for professional carpet cleaning. I chose to get my carpet cleaned, which was the right call. When I went to look at new carpet, there was a small, but bold, part of me that wanted to get carpet that was as purple as this flower you shared. Totally would have been a mistake, but it's a mistake I still kind of want to make.
ReplyDeleteThrifting!! ☺️
