I bought a beautiful, real, pink flowering hydrangea plant today at Aldi. It seems proper that I report this purchase because my normal routine is not to buy the flowers; but to only pause to smell, and enjoy the flowers, and take a picture, and then move on to fill my cart with the grocery items that are on the list. It is significant that you know that I bought a real live flowering plant because it is linked to a larger-than-life display of fake flowers that I happened upon a week ago ...

Meet in the Middle – Where his brown blanket and my grey one meet
I woke up early enough to feed chickens, if we had chickens. It was too early to even think of moving from underneath the warm and cozy covers on my side of the bed, so I nestled closer to The Salesman who has his own brown blanket on his side of the bed.

There were several reasons I decided to purchase a new utensil holder for my kitchen counter top - first, I was trying to hide an outlet! Yesterday as I was taking the utensils out of the old crock and putting them into the new head, I decided I wasn't going to fill the new head with anything that wasn't useful.

I unwrapped love in my lunchbox...It's the little things, mamas. So, I set out to make a THM sugar cookie ice cream sandwich for my Valentines. Though capturing it on video did not go as planned, The Salesman ate the rejects, and liked them! Life is beautiful, and sweet, even without sugar. I made the cookies, pulled out my mama's cookie ...
