  • Delights Day 15: Martin Luther King Jr. Day and My Sock Drawer:

    I love to organize my socks. I pull all of my socks out of the drawer, pair everyone up, help lost socks find their mate and neatly fold them back. Well, I wont have to do that for a while, I think and I go about the rest of my days, my weeks and my…

  • Delights Day 14: The Day of Birth

    I did not post yesterday. I was celebrating the day of my birth. 50 years on this amazing earth. 50 years of being a human during this time. I was a delightful day. I received so many sweet notes from dear friends. Inhaled beautiful flower arrangements, drank too much champagne and dove into a gorgeous…

  • 50 Eve

    Tomorrow is my birthday. I turn 50. 50 years on this earth. 50 years on this beautiful, volatile, amazing earth. One thought that has resonated. How lucky are we to be alive? How lucky are we to be alive? This was me at my 40th birthday party. This photo was taken 5 months after we…

  • Delights Day 12

    I did not post a delight tonight. I fell asleep on the couch. It was delightful.

  • Delights Day 11- Post Gluten and a Baby

    Welcome Dear Friends to Day 11 of 365 Days of Delights. Yesterday in response to my anger, I wrote fiery blog post, banned myself to the kitchen, made 6 dozen cookies, 32 peanut butter balls, 2 loaves of bread, and one homemade pizza dough which was converted into said pizza. No really. I did. Today…

    Welcome to Delights Day 10- dough therapy. I gotta tell you, I’m in a bit of tizzy tonight so you might not walk away feeling delighted. In fact, I am so worked up I have sequestered myself to the kitchen where I will bake and bake and bake. Oh stop it…… I live in Colorado…

  • Delight Day 9 of 365- This Guy

    I would be remiss if I continued these Delights one more day and did not acknowledge this guy. My Hubs. We have spent the last ten months together- in some sort of quarantine. I have told him he needs to be a better girlfriend, he has told me I need to stop snoring (HA! I…

  • Delight Day 8- Blooming Amaryllis!

    Welcome to Delights Day 8 of 365. Sometimes what delights me is sitting next to the dish towels and tea kettle. All it takes is acknowledgement over a cup of Sunday coffee. I love this Amaryllis! I bought my little friend at Krogers on December 18th, 2020 for $9.99. He had one blossom. Three weeks…

  • Delight Day 7 of 365- Rejoice the Forest Bathers!

    Day One I posted about my trip in the woods and the idea of Forest Bathing…..immersing in everything the forest, the outside has to offer. Apparently I have a tribe of Forest Bathers which delights me! Here are photos fellow Delighters have sent to me in this Winter Wonderland. Bathe. Bathe my friends in whatever…

  • Day 6 of 365 of Delights: Come Swim with Me.

    I swim during COVID. It is my most reckless act. I only swim outside- partly because of this nasty virus, partly because the only way to swim is outside. The light dances on the water and the air is clean and cold. 5 days a week, I pull on a swim suit, my newly purchased…
