*Walking up, realizing it's the weekend, and curling up for another thirty minutes of sleep.
*Sitting by the window and savouring my favourite flavour of coffee.
*The joy of watching a baby smile.
*Finding music that speaks to my soul.
I hope you like it as much as I did.
Faded Rose.
What made you happy today?
Have an "everything is looking rosy" kind of weekend!
I leave you with this one. Thanks to Marijke, bottom flower is (Buttercup) Ranunculus . (Mystery solved!)
I am pretty darn smitten with Ranunculus Asiaticus right now.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Happy Easter and Passover! xx
What makes me happy today? Waking up to a new day - having 2 grandchildren spending the weekend with me and one spending the morning since 5am on the couch with me, snuggling. Being able to enjoy what I love to do...and visiting my friends in the blogosphere! Have a wonderful day and a Blessed Easter! Your photos were simply gorgeous!

How beautiful these are!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you my Friend!
It's fascinating to sit by the window with a cup of coffee and watch life go by. The smile of a baby, a sunbeam, dancing flowers, the birds singing their melodies, but, above all, listening to a beautiful song "Always look on the bright side of life".
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, full of color and beauty to adorn our screens this Spring started.
Hugs, Betty.
What I liked this weekend is a trip that I did for a now defunct rail route.
Nice roses!
ReplyDeleteToday shopping made me happy!
Have a colourful weekend!
Love all that pink petal beauty! Gorgeous, gorgeous! It makes feel like I'm gliding and floating into spring. Not so many sweet blossoms opened yet here in Toronto..but they will come. As for me, what's making me happy is a lazy day..no appointments, no deadlines, just sweet sunshine, good reading and good company! Have a lovely weekend! And, thanks for sharing all that beauty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pics! Thanks for sharing them. They made my day. Have a great weekend, Betty!
