Small Pleasures

Ive found that looking for the small pleasures in each day sure brings me joy. Today I moved the plants inside that I brought home from my mothers funeral yesterday. They looked small in the truck but they look huge in my tiny cabin! Still they brought a smile to my face because my mom always loved her plants and because these two are the first ones that I had when I bought the first home of my own.

The palm tree I had for almost 15 years and actually hauled it all the way to Ks the year that we lived there. I decorated it like a christmas tree because I couldnt afford to buy a tree that year. They still remember that lol! I left it when I moved out before the divorce and Im sure my x let it die.

So when i look it it brings a smile to my face. All of lifes a circle.

Small pleasures

I started this morning by watching Skittles kittens toddling around exploring their bigger world of the kitchen before she got too nervous and dragged them all back in the crate lol. If they try to go too fast their feet go flying and they go rolling lol. They are just sooo cute!

Then I milked Taffy and came in and put the milk on to pasteurize and went out and picked broccoli, cauliflower and snap peas. Once the milk was pasteurized I turned the heat up on the water in the double boiler and blanched the veggies. As soon as they cool I'll put them into freezer bags for stir fry this winter.

Now on the counter there are quart jars of milk cooling and bright green veggies cooling. It looks so pretty!
