1) a pair of wristwarmers is off to Paris

2) Spotless series

3) put together a small non-Lego set of potted succulents

4) haircut

5) cats lounging on my unmade bed, best excuse not having to make it 😉

One of the best books to provide true peace!

Today I feel spring around the corner- reached 71 today. I feel exhilaration after attending a protest in Hartford, always coffee, the “ Robert Tree” our Magnolia is starting to bloom, kitties, tonight‘s sunset, Litsy friends, the ocean at Banks Street Beach, Harwich Port,Cape Cod,books!, my first porch day with coffee & a book, sisters, hummingbirds yet to visit my garden. #hope #joy #love #gratitude #resist #nature #moodboardcontest #mbc

Top row: 3 days on Cape Cod, MA with my 3 sisters! 💕💕💕💕
Bottom row: all today- in the 50s, my first day of the season on my porch. Neighbors out walking, bikers cycling by, birds singing. Coffee & a book! 🚶🏻‍♀️🚴‍♂️☕️📘 🪶🐦‍⬛🎶☀️ A taste of spring…

Belated #5JoysFriday!
1. My dad & I are making progress in getting rid of unnecessary stuff—someone took the dresser we left at the curb, and we gave a bunch of vintage clothes & hats to a local youth theater org for costumes
2. During the above, I found a sweet “Thank You Grandpa” booklet my nieces gave my dad almost 20 years ago (we kept that!!)
3. Between rainstorms we had some glorious clear days where I could see snow on the mountains ⤵️

#5JoysFriday!

1. Saturday was our wedding anniversary and we celebrated with a fancy dinner paid for by a gift card from my husband‘s boss
2. After the fancy dinner, we went to a Radiolab quiz show followed by a musical performance by Julianna Barwick
3. My good friend who‘s not a big fiction reader decided to read Nicholas Nickleby since I‘m reading it right now, and she‘s really enjoying it and texting me about it!

Went to my local Indie bookstore, RiverBend Bookshop to pick up my Feb. holds & of course I left with 3 more books. What a thrill! #joy #indiebookstores #books
