“It is no bad thing to celebrate a simple life.”
~ J.R.R. Tolkin
Hello Saturday! What a beautiful morning here in New England. Miss Lucy is still snuggled up in bed, the sun is out, the skies are blue and a high of 36 is predicted for this afternoon.
On the agenda for today:
- Recycling {and treasure hunting!}
- Help the HH complete my potting bench 🙂 🙂 🙂
- Work on enormous rug hooking pattern
- Draw out shamrock for the HH to cut out {then paint, and hang on the front door}
- Finish laundry, clean kitchen, take a nice long walk
- Make some soup with the left over pot roast
- Map out trip Connecticut Garden Show adventure with stops
- Borrow audiobook from library for mini adventure
It’s going to be a busy day.
I also wanted to add that I cashed in some of my Amazon Digital credits to rent the movie The Bookshop a few days ago. It was slow, a nothing ever seems to change in small towns, but good in a Chocolat with Juliette Binoche kind of way type of movie. I love quirky little English films so if you like those too, you might want to check it out.
Have a great weekend everyone,
♥ Mavis & Lucy
