BEGINNING SIMPLE PLEASURES

Welcome. Is summer really winding down? Here in Georgia we still have a lot more summer, and I for one am happy about that because I do love summer. 

Did you read my post last Friday, where I decided to shake things up on my Friday Finds posts?

Well, now I have decided to really shake things up and rename these posts Simple Pleasures. After all, life is all about evolving and changing, and I have never been one to hold back from learning and making changes.

I didn't grow vegetables in my garden this year because we were told that the parking lot would be paved this summer and we would not have access to our garden spaces during that time. 

Now we have found out that the work won't start at least until October. Fortunately, I had already planted some zinnia seeds and they are starting to give me some small bouquets for my home.

Such a treat to have fresh flowers picked from my own garden. 

Life has been hectic lately, but I am all about slowing things down and just enjoying the simple pleasures.

Inspiration

I remember watching Walt Disney on my black and white tv as a child and feeling that it was magical, and anything was possible.

Favorite Gluten-Free Recipe of the week

Because I eat gluten-free I am always excited to find new gluten-free recipes, and so this little space is for all of my gluten-free friends and anyone else who loves good food.

Have you read these posts?

I started a new series on Healthy Habits for a Happier Life, and this week it was about my own journey.

This week's home tour was A Serene Maine Cottage and it is simply fabulous. I'm ready to move in.

What I'm Watching

I just finished watching The Good Karma Hospital on Acorn TV. I loved it and can't wait for the next season. The colors and the scenery are beautiful.

I think Acorn may still have a free trial, but as I am a current subscriber I couldn't get it to come up. Of course, you can certainly check it out. There are so many great shows to watch.
