~George Santayana
The quote above rings so true to me. My husband, our three boys, and what we all are together, as a family, feels like a beautiful thing. A beautiful thing that did not just appear all at once, but through both intent and chance, formed over the course of time.
Perhaps it is because I've always loved art that I view so many things in this world...in life...as masterpieces. Things to stop and take notice of...to appreciate...to enjoy...to savor. The perfect blackberry cobbler is not just a dessert to me, but rather a sweet and comforting reminder of my childhood and the berry vines intertwined around the field of wildflowers behind my house. A decorated mantle fills my heart with the unique joy connected to each passing season or special holiday. Our small garden is a slice of heaven...a patch of land bursting with a rainbow of lush, green plants and colorful fruits and vegetables waiting to delight our taste buds and fill our bellies. The sound of my children's laughter while they run and dance in the warm rain of summertime is the sweetest music to my ears.
This blog is a place for me to share the different things in my life which I find beautiful, enjoyable, or worth appreciating...whether it be a home/garden/craft project, special recipe, enchanting place to visit, family activity, or even just a photograph. I hope it serves as an inspiration to try something new or to appreciate nature's masterpieces and the "ordinary" things in life a little bit more.
