What makes you smile? The simplest of things brings a smile to my face. Yesterday when gathering the eggs, I found this pretty little speckled egg amongst the ivory, brown, and blue-green eggs. I wondered which hen laid such a sweet egg.... could it have been Collette, Jacqueline, or maybe Brown Girl who wears the pouffy pantaloons?
I washed the eggs and placed the speckled one in an old egg cup for a portrait sitting. Old, stained, crackled ironstone is another simple joy of mine. Imperfect, but well-loved...
It's sweet simple joys like these that make me smile.

February has arrived, and along with it a birthday later in the month (on the 18th) for me. Should I panic? Nope, I'll be ever so thankful for another year of God's grace and kindness and the blessings of Simple Joys.
Thank you for visiting Honeysuckle Lane today.
Take Care & God Bless,
Lana
