I am focusing on the small joys found throughout the day,
nothing purchased, just small events that make my heart beat with happiness.
Going for a walk yesterday with the hubby & Cleo, this
butterfly was fluttering near the sidewalk.
Its unusual shade of blue gave me joy.

| Got milk? |
As I was eating my morning bowl of cereal while watching
Good Morning America, all 3 cats decided to watch me in hopes of getting a few
licks of the milk. I laughed with joy at
the comedy of the scene.

| This is me, wearing flowered rain boots. Looks pretty sexy with those capris, don't ya think! It wasn't raining, I was afraid of running into a snake. |
After over a year of driving past this green barn every
morning to school, I finally made the opportunity to stop and photograph
it. A green barn is a rare sight, I was
not disappointed. The peeling paint, missing boards, signs of life from a bygone era, it is this type of photography
that brings me joy.
Allistair always makes me laugh. He is a typical Siamese cat; forever getting into mischief,
always looking for something to get into, making a toy out of anything that
moves (or doesn't), climbing and knocking things down…
After a full morning of mayhem, I discovered him in the chair, like
this, dreaming I’m sure of more things to get into. Having cats has always brought me joy. The house simply feels empty without them.

ReplyDeletesilly cats!!
ReplyDeletei love your barn shot...so pretty. I am just on the other side of 50 now as well and find i am so much more content than I used to be. It's not that I have any more...in many ways I have less. It's that I am happier with what I have.
ReplyDeleteLove your moments of joy! Another great use for rain boots, snake protectors :) And oh yes to the green barn!
ReplyDeleteOh my .., the butterfly looks so beautiful! I love also the turquoise barn door - a lovely capture! It's wise to wear wellies on the high grass, I'd definitely do the same .., and those cozy mornings with cerials, morning bt and cats sound like a good life to me!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend :)
Ahhhhh. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI adore the boots.
I am wearin my wellies these days to beat the mosquitoes...they seem extra vicious and PLENTIFUL this year.
Have a great weekend ~p
Love this so much, Diane!
ReplyDeleteAren't they funny pets especially cats always up to something, love the shot of them waiting in hope of milk. But Allistair he looks so comfortable. I love the pictures of the barn, I travel past one on the highway sometimes when going to Geelong and I so must like you take shots of it. I has graffiti all over it and tin, nothing like yours that has amazing paint peeling and total character. Thanks for sharing.

I am new to your blog and simply loving it! Your photographs are stunning and all of them spoke to me. Thank you for sharing them. I have a kitty as well, who seems to ill tonight and has me very worried, I cannot wait to call the vet first thing and hope all will be well. The picture of your three hoping for some cereal milk is so precious! They really do bring so much joy and happiness, don't they? Thanks for a lovely post.
