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.

LUCY, cuando descubrí tu blog pensé que era especial para levantar el ánimo en días grises. No sólo por lo colorido sino también por lo que cuentas.
¡Enhorabuena!

What a lovely day- thanks for sharing! Would you mind posting about your coffee drink sometime? I've seen it in so many of your pics, and it always looks so delicious!! It couldn't be plain coffee from the looks of it- maybe a homemade latte with cinnamon sprinkled on top? Just curious! Have a great day!

I would love to live in a place such as where you are. It is flat and sandy here. Hills, mountains, and water have always drawn me, but alas that is not where God has placed us.
Your pictures always cheer and warm the soul. You should consider a career or part time job in photography. You have a great eye for color and just how to focus the items in the camera lense.
Thanks for taking the time to allow us a glimpse into your world. BTW-love B's chubby little hands and fingers.

what a day!!! I love posts like this, with beautiful photos that take me on a little vacation to someone else's life far away. I adore the fact that you get to walk along that canal every day to school and always love your canal photos. Little B's still-little hand in yours = so sweet.

Dear Amiga Lucy,
I love your pics with your little sonB. The kids grow so fast. My boys are so tall now with bigger hands than mine. They are growing overnight and I'm shrinking at the same time, you know what I mean? I'm making my own version of your ripple blanket. I do like the smooth colour changing in yours. In my case I wanted more drama, just perfect for my youngest sonA.
Cuidate mucho! Hasta mañana.

Such a lovely colourful and joyful post, and a real 'Lucy' post too! It's so good that you are enjoying the precious moments with Little B, as they slide by so fast. Your blanket is looking gorgeous, I love the colours.

I swear to all that's Yarny - that ripple blanket will be the new crochet 'it'-thing when it's finished!
Especially when you're considered to be THE crochet 'it'-lady ;)

Lovely photos Lucy & your ripple blanket is coming along a treat. Did those Swans do a disappearing act when you were down by the canal! They say never work with animals & children lol.
Love Carole from Rossendale xxx

What a happy, beautiful post. It lifted me up right in the morning when I can start looking for any special moment myself. Goody!!!

A beautiful day. It sounds like you made some special "memory moments" with little B. Love the chickens. You inspire me to spend more time with my little ones. Thanks Lucy. :)
