everyday pleasures...

Happiness consists more in small conveniences or pleasures that occur every day than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom to a man in the course of his life.
Benjamen Franklin.

Here's a few everyday things that make me smile...

The grands always have a way of making me smile.

Whether emptying the fountain...

..or flipping their way across the lawn...
one can't help but smile.

a pleasure one cannot buy.


Friends...
those who supplied the peaches...
and those who came for dinner last night...
and had peach pie with us.

Enjoy your day...
and take pleasure in the little things!

  9. That quote makes a lot of sense!And wouldn't we rather have it that way?
    I had to smile that, without knowing it, we had pictures taken with our six grands in much the same way at around the same time . . . except we didnt have any cows to look at.

  12. A fun grandma, who likes photography and can create a pie like the one pictured wins a blue ribbon in my book. Can you imagine what it is like to be sitting here with my early morning cup of coffee and looking at your beautifully created, delicious looking peach pie?

    I like the message you shared on this post. A reminder I want to heed at this time in my life.
