Small Things That Count

Inspired by VikLit

As I was thinking about what small things I'd include in today's post, I realized that none of what I had in mind were small in the least. But I guess we call these small because they don't make a headline splash or they don't send us out to shout about them. They just bring a moment of joy, a chuckle, a sigh of satisfaction. So I'll say these are the small things I celebrate, but taken in total, they are amazingly large.




A Crecopia Moth's Brief Visit

He tucked himself under the handle of grocery bag for a nap. He stay all day, then flew off just as the sun set.




 This year's crop of peas produced some beautiful pink and red flower, then gave us handfuls of the sweetest peas for dinner.













 A first Iris all white and tinged with a royal purple. Loved his kingly arrival.





Off to celebrate more small things with others in this Hop. Hope you'll stop by and say hi to them.
