Things that bring me joy...

• another shopping day with my sis
• a Sunday dinner invite
• congregational Easter program - so so inspiring
• frogs croaking
• sitting out by McDonald creek watching the glassy water flowing and a rich vibrant sunset and hearing the red-winged blackbird's throaty song 
• fun pattern suggestions from cousin Geri :)
• cleaning up the basement and storage room and putting ALL the books back in the big Ikea bookshelf 
• setting up the Papasan chair again (with the boys bright pillows inside) right beside the bookcase
• jars of brightly coloured pencil crayons and markers on the window sill in the basement and the sun reflecting colour all over the room
• folks bringing us supper one night and babysitting while we went to youth meeting!
• silence
