Year Round Snowbabies

While getting ready to pack away winter holiday decor, three little Snowbaby figures ended up on a dresser top.

They are so adorable.

The thought ran through my mind to find a shelf somewhere in the apartment where they can sit all year, instead of being packed away in a dark bin.

Honestly, I don't know much about these figures except that every single one is adorable.

Also, I believe we need to have beautiful and adorable things in our environment that makes us happy and smile.

Snowbabies qualify in my book!

Fresh Salad Hits the Spot

Sometimes the yearning for salad overwhelms.

Recently, there has  been a craving for fresh salads. 

Having a fresh salad for lunch or dinner is a good way to start the week.

A few times now, the salad  resulting from thought has been fresh spinach, slices of pickled beets, feta cheese, and chick peas.  

A favorite dressing for this winner of a salad consists of fresh lemon juice, olive oil, a teaspoon of sugar, onion powder, salt, and pepper. 

SOOOOOOO delicious.

Happy Sunday!

Hello Everybody!

 Here is wishing a Happy Sunday to all.

No matter where you are or what you are doing, positive vibes are coming to you from Writing Straight from the Heart.

It's raining here but it doesn't even matter.

We are used to making our own sunshine.

Thinking of all precious blog peeps on this glorious new day of life!

I like to put little birds in plants. 

They look so cute looking out into the world.

Do you think so, too?

So Much Beauty Everywhere

People may have wondered about the crazy lady with the cell phone camera whose car kept stopping to snap photos of flowering spring plants.

It's impossible to just drive by brilliant forsythia that looks like illuminated gold in the afternoon sun.

Such incredible beauty must be shared with the world through a camera lens.

Magnolia trees have burst into gorgeous pink bloom as well as apple trees whose presence is equally breathtaking.

Snapping photos of such spring plants, trees, and bushes, in all their splendorous  glory, is sheer delight.

Seeing the hundreds of blossoms makes my heart fill to the brim and sometimes even brings tears to my eyes. 

The spring trees and bushes give us a tiny glimpse of heaven on earth.

Touches of Loveliness

 

It's important to surround one's self with things that make you happy.

The world can often be a cold and cruel place.

Our places of living, however, can be havens of peace and loveliness.

It's not necessary to spend a lot of money.

Small items, even some picked up at thrift stores or yard sales, often can be quite beautiful or humorous.

What decor is pleasing is all up to one's individual taste and style.

Shown are a few decorated, very colorful  corners of a small apartment.
