Little Joys

"In small proportions we just beauties see; and in short measures life may perfect be."
~ Jonson


The Joy Of Cranberries

Boil cranberries with lemon, sugar, and water. Strain and cool. Mix with seltzer water for a refreshing drink


The Joy Of Nature's Playthings











"In all walks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike."
~ Harriet Beecher Stowe


The Joy Of Water In The Creek Again


                                                 The Joy Of Creating




                  The Joy Of Swimming In November




                               And Sister Huddle In Warming Sun



The Joy Of Leaves Under Running Water


                                   And Downy Calf In Autumn Fields




   The Joy of Flight And Of Passing Days That Scatter Winged Memories
                         

The Joy Of Seeing My Grandmother In Her Face


After Emily had "prettied up" Mary Margaret, Mary Margaret said, "I'll have to do this when it's time to go look for a husband!"

The joy of feeling good about yourself and who you are and how you look and knowing it...so you WANT a picture of yourself.
           
 The mother's joy of knowing that it is not vanity, but self-confidence, and she's so glad her daughters  are joy-filled, beautiful, inside and out




      
 The Joy Of A Little Boy's Picture Of Something That Made Him Happy

 

The joy of the way the sunlight strokes the wall...and knowing that when I went to get another picture, the light was gone. I caught the sun today. I caught the last glimmer of light before the blanket of dark fell once more.


"What is time?-the shadow on the dial,-the striking of the clock,-the running of the sand,-day and night,-summer and winter,-months,years,centuries? These are but arbitrary and outward signs,-the measure of time, not time itself. Time is the life of the soul. If not this,-then tell me, what is time? "
