Couldn't help snapping some more things that have pleased me today. First up, big brother Sam playing patiently with little sister Isabella. Very patient considering she was trying to fashion him a hat from her poor, bedraggled bunny.
Washing quilts and seeing them blowing on the line...
Awful pictures as the sun had moved behind the trees, yet the shade was bright. Hmm, that makes no sense does it?
One day I swear I'll take a decent picture of the quilts I made for the two littlest girls (said in the manner of one obsessed!)
A perfect blue sky
Dazzling daisies against murky pond
Still perfect even with a cotton-wool cloud or two scudding lazily across the canvas
A chilled out Tiger-Lily stretched out on the bench beneath the weigelia.
So, a day for playing and quilt-watching and cat-napping and for reading this wonderful post from one of my favourite blogs, Little Cottage Comforts by Pomona. Pop over if you haven't already and have a lovely read through her truly gorgeous blog.
And isn't it always a day for a kiss?
Bye for now x
Aw.......just lovely!!

I think you deserve a kiss, Pipany! I am so glad you like my blog, and thank you for being so complimentary! I just love those pictures of the children - it brings a tear to the eye - and I am not surprised you recorded it - better than squabbling, too! And I love the quilts - which make me feel very guilty about my own embryonic quilts (ie fabric stash!).

What a glorious day to remember. The sky, the quilts and the cat are such the embodiment of summer. And the love between your children shines through the photos.
ReplyDeleteMy children have 10 years between them and it's been great for them. And for me.

ReplyDeleteThe pictures of Sam and Isabella are priceless, especially that last one. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteOMG....I am sure that I have commented before that I have a cat that looks very similar to yours but it gets spooky.....my cat is called Tiger-Lily too!!!!!!!!!!

What delightful photos! Is there anything better then happy children, quilts hanging on a clothesline, blue skies and flowers, or kitties stretching in the sunshine???? Lovely, Pipany!
