hi there, my friends.
i made a huge batch of granola yesterday. i added lots of cashews, and walnuts~ along with honey, nutmeg and vanilla. so breakfast is greek yogurt and a bit of the crunchy granola ; )

last night, my sweet girl and i, painted each others nails~ times like that, are magic, sheer magic.

have you entered the giveaway, for my photo? tomorrow is the last day, to enter. i hope you win. : )

i happily signed up  for this. i can't sketch, but i will try + have fun.  and i think it will be great for our classroom, here at home.

when i saw this butterfly, it painted a daffodil yellow, across my thoughts...which brought me to the beauty of "in the time of daffodils"
"in time of daffodils (who know
the goal of living is to grow)
forgetting why, remember how"
e.e. cummings


one love
one light

happy weekend, my friends ; )

I love your photo of the butterfly. When my daughter, Isabella, was born, my mother said she looked like a butterfly and starting calling her "Papillon." Now everytime I see a butterfly I think of her. You take such beautiful photos!

I must say that is the best granola I have ever had. It went perfect with my homemade yogurt for breakfast this morning. What a treat! And I am not sharing.
