What exactly are we celebrating?
Every week, wonderful things happen, tiny things, which make us smile. But as time grabs us up, we forget all about these moments as if they never existed at all. This is the chance for us to reflect back on those and remember that there are tons of things worth celebrating.
This week, I'm celebrating. . .
1) A little quiet. After last week's rush and haste, it was nice to have a couple days of more peaceful days.
2) Garden finally getting planted! I don't know if any of you remember, but last Fall I started on a rock wall to make a type of terrace garden near to the house. I'll post pictures when it's completely done...but for now, I'm getting very close and could put at least a few plants in.
3) Fireflies! These lovely creatures are back - yay! This year, they're coming on strong too. Our entire lower field lights up as if Christmas tree lights have been spread across it. It's simply beautiful.
4) Last day of school for the kids! Which means Summer can begin. . .whatever that might mean.
What about you? What put a smile on your face this last week?
Did you bask in the sun?
Figure out a plot twist?
Grab a tasty doughnut?
What are you celebrating?
The field of fireflies sounds lovely! Definitely something to be grateful for. :)
ReplyDeleteQuiet and fireflies - sounds like heaven to me! We've been babysitting three grandkids all week. I'm ready for quiet and fireflies are a childhood sign of summer for me.
ReplyDeleteSchool will be out - there goes your quiet.
ReplyDeleteWe get fireflies here but not that thick.
I love fireflies. I'm not usually out when the sun goes down to see them if they're around here. My kids still have another month of school, but then again, we don't start until after Labor Day.
ReplyDeleteI love watching the fireflies. We have tons of them. Our kids have a month before school let's out. Have a fun weekend.
ReplyDeleteYay fireflies!! I'm a little too far in the city now, but I still see a few on occasion. :) Can't wait to see the rock wall!
ReplyDeleteI haven't noticed fireflies yet. I'll have to pay better attention. I can't wait to see the garden pics!
ReplyDeleteI wish we had fireflies, I bet they're beautiful! Glad you've had a more peaceful week :)
ReplyDeleteThe fact that I sleep in tomorrow puts a smile on my face (smile) Blessings and enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteWell, if you go to my blog you'll find the best thing I did was soak in the tub. I miss fireflies. Saw those when we lived in the south. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteGlad last week was less hectic and you saw the fireflies. We have them too and they're so cute. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteFireflies! They're so magical, and I'm glad you have lots! Yay for your getting the garden and wall in shape. Can't wait for pics! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteWow... how cool about the fireflies... I bet they would look amazing. My garden is drying up with the onset of winter here in Australia.
ReplyDeleteCan't believe summer vacation has already begun for you - we don't break up here until mid July!! Although DD has finished her university year already so will be popping back from time to time :) You're so lucky to have fireflies - I'm watching out for moths now in England! Have a wonderful weekend :)
