A Great Bundle of Little Things


Oliver Wendell Holmes knew what he was talking about


when it came to his philosophy of life.


Flowers in the garden were among the little things in my life this week.


We rode past this sweet little garden on our bicycles and I made Steve turn back with me to snap a photo.


Steve has been moving old paintings around the house to make room for new pieces.


The aqua tints of the painting called for a change on this wall of the guest room and it all makes me quite happy.


Another little thing this week was Steve hanging a new painting over the mantel.


I'll wait a month to show you how it looks on the mantel because one of the best little things this week was that we made arrangements for the last 3 rooms in the house to be painted white.


In a post, Change . . . Always Change, I showed Steve working on a new plein air painting in the garden.


Steve diligently painted the tall skinny painting at my request for a specific wall in the living room.


Like the painting of the boats, I won't show off this painting on the wall until it hangs against a crisp white background.


All these little things add up to a wonderful week


and I hope you had a great bundle of little things in your life this week.
