A Little Love and Affection

One of Steve's passions is music

Music is playing in the background nearly every minute we are in our house - he usually turns it off at bedtime - but not always!

I am nursing a sore back  - 5 straight days of sewing my slipcovers and two 15 mile bike rides have done me in.

Neil Young, 'Falling From Above', just played on the stereo.

One particular verse resonated with me and I asked Steve to find me the lyrics.

"Mamma said, A little love and affection in everything you do
Will make the world a better place
With or without you.
A little love and affection in everything you do
A better place
With or without you."

That one line

"A little love and affection in everything you do"

is what I am seeing as I scroll through all my favorite blogs.

 EVERY post shows homes, gardens, craft and sewing projects where women put

"A little love and affection"

in everything they do.

One of my passions is creating a special place for my family.

I show my 'love and affection" with

fresh flowers

thoughtful table settings

handmade creations

hard work in the garden

and decorating, redecorating, moving and tweaking everything in the house.

It's what we do, daily.

Have fun showing "love and affection" for your families today.

You might have noticed that there is nothing about cooking in what I do.

I show "love and affection" for my family by not cooking.

When the kids were little, on my nights to cook, the most common question was - "can't we just go out tonight?"

Fortunately, Steve shows his "love and affection" by creating wonderful gourmet meals - and cleaning up afterward!
