Today I turned my face up to admire the blue of the morning sky
Today we had our first Autumn frost
Today I really enjoyed my morning walk to school along the canal
Today I smiled at Little B twirling this leaf around in his fingers as we walked
Today I fell in love with my geraniums all over again
Today I noticed the second flush of my Alchemilla, vivid green against grey stone
Today I enjoyed my morning coffee sat in bright streaming sunlight
Today Little B and I spent lots of "laughter-time" together
Today we visited a small playpark on the other side of town, high up on the hill
Today I loved Little B chatting to the chickens through the fence beside the park
Today the sunshine made rainbow lights dance across my wall
Today I enjoyed a little bit of colour-planning, mmm-mmm
♥
Today I am thankful for the multitude of Happy Moments that made up my day.

Hi Lucy, What a nice suprise, i was looking at your "blogs i Like" and i see your lovely colourful new post . Always is a joy to read.
Thanks so much for nearly a years worth of colour. I discovered your blog at a difficult time and it cheered me then and continues to do so. Much love (happy half term if yours is next week) Susan xxx

And what lovely, picturesque moments they were! Your blog will be a wonderful reminder of these times as Little B grows. Thanks so much for sharing them!

What a lovely day!
It was frosty here last night too, but it warmed up this morning just enough for it to have melted around 7am!

I love the picture of little B's hand in yours! They are only so small for such a short time. I must not let these days pass me by in a blur of routine. Thank you for the reminder to count those blessings!

Very poetic. Today's post took me back to the time when my young'ns where babies. I miss bundling up and taking strolls to the park. I really miss seeing the world through their eyes. Thanks for the reminder.

Today, my day is now made. Today as special friend shared her day. Today I can be thankful she still knows how to touch our hearts. Today I'm a wee bit jealous I don't have a canal to walk along. Today, I say, bless you Lucy.

Your blog today made me think of also taking pictures of the lovely part of the world. Coffee, plants, blue sky. Your blog makes me so happy in Maine, USA. I've always wanted to see the countryside of England, and I can do it through you. Some day I'll get there. Thank you SO much.......you're a blessing to my days.
Huge Hug,
Mary :-)

Your blanket is lovely. I like the way that you repeat colours for a while and then change over. It is very different to the way I do my blankets, but I like it too.
Very best wishes
Primrose

Lovely, Lucy. Your yarn inspires me.

I must tell you - I have been lurking around in your archives all this week. It has been dreary here (the sun finally came out today) and the pops of color on your blog have been making me so happy. I love your attic views, and the bright yarns you use for your yummy yummy projects. Every single thing about your little web spot here, really. I just wanted to let you know that and to say hi!

Just found your blog thanks to the Tots 100. Your picture of the canal makes me fairly certain we live in the same town! Very random.

Do people live in those boats along the canal?
It seems so magical!

There's nothing sweeter than a toddler's soft, pudgy little hand...makes me miss my "babies" now that they're teenagers.
