Face to the sun, Reading, If the walls could speak

1. Standing in the sunny, south-facing window and soaking up the warmth.
2. I spend most of the day reading. The book is titled, The Distant Hours and it's a hard one to put down.
3. Poking around an old farmhouse that's up for sale and imagining what used to be.

I love the warmth that comes in from a sunny window in the winter time. Am intrigued about the farm house. I have always dreamed of having one. xxoo

"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."
