The sublime delight of feeling the warmth of the sun
soaking through to your bones
as you eat toast and drink tea in the sunshine.
The softly smug smile as you hang out the washing on the line
and watch it gently drift with the light breeze
while the sun plays across the folds and flaps
Noticing the light play through the petals of the tete a tete daffodils and purple crocus
while an impatient dog reluctantly waits for her walk
Finding dove feathers on the pathway below the tree they nest in
Buying a new eyeliner, trying a different style of applying the facial warpaint and suddenly feeling rather French and fashionable - then wondering if Himself will notice!
Liking your shadow - whilst feeling the sun on your shoulders
Seeing the cat breathing in the early morning air before she sets off to patrol her patch
Walking by the prettiest of camellias on the morning dog loop
What has made you smile today?
What filled you with the springiest of spring feels?
The gentleness of the air. The first stitchwort flower and the first wild strawberry flower. The skylarks. The scent of the washing as it dries outside like yours!

ReplyDeleteWorld Book Day perchance? I remember those dressing up for school days - I spent all day yesterday in my son's garden - so am in 'recovery' haha
DeleteThe sound of birdsong and the sunshine made me smile today, even though I was at work. Being grateful I am here to enjoy these things. You found some lovely things to enjoy.
