Okay, lay it on us! We want to hear what good things are happening to you today!

The weather has been glorious since I returned from Seattle to Massachusetts. Although yesterday morning it was so chilly I wondered if I had skipped all of August and moved straight to the end of September! But this lovely weather inspired me to take a moment to stop and smell the literal roses. I wandered my tiny street and took pictures of the neighbor’s flowers.

This hydrangea bush started it all. It’s changing from this brilliant blue to a dusty rose!

We have amazing grapes growing everywhere! There is an arbor, but this bunch is growing off the telephone wires! (And hanging down low enough that it’s at my eye level!)

You can see the original arbor in the background…

Here you can see how the grapes are taking over other foliage.
Including this old apple tree!

Until this year we thought it was dead. It didn’t have very much green and I was worried about it falling into the house. But this year is sprang to life and is producing more apples than the critters can eat.

I think this is a tiger lily, but I need to check the leaves to be sure!

What is stopping you from rushing about and reminding you to take a moment for yourself?
