Flowers, Wagon Ride, Dirt

1. I catch the scent of daffodils now and then as I work in the kitchen.
2. Tess and I ride the little red wagon down the hill. I love having Tess as my gardening companion.
3. Our local nursery is expanding! We stop to buy dirt and get to choose our custom mix. One scoop of this and one scoop of that. Just like ordering an ice cream cone!

Wonderful three things. I love the idea of a scoop of this and a scoop of that!

"The world is fairly studded and strewn with pennies cast broadside from a generous hand. But who gets excited by a mere penny?...It is dire poverty indeed when a man is so malnourished and fatigued that he won't stoop to pick up a penny. But if you cultivate a healthy poverty and simplicity, so that finding a penny will literally make your day, then, since the world is in fact planted with pennies, you have with your poverty bought a lifetime of days. It is that simple. what you see is what you get."
