Joys of My Day

“There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy.” Robert Louis Stevenson

Some of the joys of my day have been these.

I have thought many times lately how nice it’d be to have a footstool in front of my loveseat to warm my toes at the old heater now that I’ve rearranged my living room. As if left just for me, an old footstool with a ratty top was found at Goodwill for 2.98. Recovered, it’s perfect.

I was inspired by Mary at Across the Pond, to set a bunny or two out, only my bunnies aren’t nearly as elegant as Mary’s. Meet Snowy, the bunny my now 17-year-old son carried around when he was little. If I recall correctly (and I’m sure I do), Joseph was arrayed in cowboy boots and batman cape, carrying a sword in one hand and Snowy in the other. Snowy is guarding the Hershey’s Kisses, but I’m afraid he’s not much of an imposing presence.

Our wooden box of books, which is perfect for standing books in and sits on the floor with a rolled-up sleeping bag close by for one princess of the universe to snuggle up in and read, now contains many bunny books.

As promised, here’s a picture of the tiered skirt on my sweetpea. She loves the skirt, and that makes me happy.

Last but not least is evidence that my rosemary seeds are indeed alive. The very first one has emerged! Rosemary plants take awhile to sprout from the seeds. It’s been 14 days now that I’ve been checking under the clear lid of the little “greenhouse” they are in. I expect and hope to see more poke through the soil over the next week.

Take joy.
