Pretty-I know I share a lot of garden pictures, but in just two short months, the rainy gray will return, and the garden will be a sodden mess. I need to enjoy it as much as I can, soak up it's beauty to remind me what I have to look forward to, if I can just make it through the next eight months of rain!
Happy-My niece tipped me off to these chocolate covered almonds at Trader Joe's. Our store just opened here two months ago, and I am so happy to have one in town. These almonds are so delicious, I love the sea salt on the outside of them, and just one or two will satisfy my sweet craving! Happy indeed!
Funny- There seems to be a lot of action going down at Stuart's airplane! Ambulance, school bus, multiple fire engines, broken plastic tractor, fuel tanker, and crane, all to the rescue. I would love to know what he was imagining as he was arranging all of these vehicles around the plane!
Real- If you wrap a rubber band around the end of your nose in an attempt to look like Nanny McPhee, and if you leave the rubber band there for, oh say, an hour, your nose will get a real bruise on it, and be quite purple for several days. Just glad she did not try to replicate Nanny's one huge tooth-thank you for leaving your teeth alone, Evangeline!

Like Mother, Like Daughter for another round of pretty,happy,funny,real! Capturing the contentment in the everyday!
Oh my goodness, her poor nose! I'm sorry I laughed, but children do come up with the funniest ideas! So glad she left her teeth alone!
ReplyDeletePS- I now need to find a Trader Joe's! xx
I love your garden pictures. My garden was such a disappointment this year. I love all your rose pictures.

Oh dear...the real is real 100% kid, isn't it? You will both remember that one for a long time!
ReplyDeleteYour funny is great - quite a story going on there I imagine :) And what a way to learn about circulation, poor nose.
ReplyDeleteI keep running into your comments and links around Blogland. I finally decided to stop by the other day. So glad I did! I'll start following you now.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Haha. Love the plane with all the action! Wow! :)
ReplyDeleteChocolate-covered almonds? Oh, my; oh my. oh. my.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea the end of a nose could turn black and blue.
See? Chocolate covered almonds from TJ's are amazing! I knew you would like them :)
ReplyDeleteEvangeline cracks me up. I love her.
That first picture - all I can say is *WOW* it is a lovely view. Choc covered almonds are the best. My husband always gets them when he goes to the store for us.
ReplyDeleteThank you all! Evangeline's nose is fading to a very faint purple, and the Nanny McPhee games has fallen out of fashion. Sarah, you were so right about the almonds! The best thing is that no one else likes them, so they are mine. All mine.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all your pictures. I laughed at the "real" one as well as the "funny" one. Your garden is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Poor nose.
ReplyDelete(and poor airplane! Glad there was lots of help nearby.)
My Trader Joe's indulgence are those little dark chocolate bars. I eat them one square at a time!
That funny photo is indeed very funny! At least she looks like she's taking it in stride.
ReplyDeleteAnd I may have to myself over to Trader Joe's this afternoon. Dark chocolate and sea salt is one of my newest favorite combinations!
Also, I've been meaning to tell you, I love the title of your blog! We have digestives and tea at our house all the time!
ReplyDeleteOh, your garden photo is wonderful! I love the balance of dark and light.
