Dear Diary,

One of the things I am learning to enjoy are the little things that make life worth living.
I am living at a slower pace now.
It's good to take note and enjoy all of them.

I've never had a Dog before. Now I do.
There are many small pleasures about living with a dog.

* the welcome home wag
* good morning kisses
* always up for a hug or a pet
* never lonely when the dog is around
* stepping over him because he wants to be near
* watching him take his toys out of his basket
* when he has a bad dream and M tells him it's okay
* walks
* watching really little kids pet him
* see him play (really they do) with Carrot the Cat
* learning read his body language
* see how excited he gets when he hears "outside?"
* when he comes when I call

This is our very own Ox...Otherwise known as McLovins

That McLovins...he sits so cute - Please may I direct your attention to his feet out to the side.

He does weird things with my stuff sometimes. He loves my pear smelling deo and always manages to winkle a pretzel from me...although...don't tell M that I am not "accidentally dropping them"...and I always feel like when I am down or feeling off, he knows just that putting his head in my lap will make me feel better.
What a McLovins!

Small Pleasures from The Garden

Snap Peas and a Yummy Strawberry
It's always like a treasure hunt going out to the garden and finding a little prize!
Walking out to the garden, It's the second thing I do when I get home.
First.. I greet my boys! Miles and McLovins!!

Small Pleasures of having flowers on the dining room table.
The peonies were my favorite this spring...Big and Gorgeous.

Here is what I have on there now....

This makes me happy to cut them and put them out to enjoy.

Small Pleasures of going on an impromptu date...
Saturday strawberry picking with Miles...

One for me - one for the basket!

I love it when he takes me on adventures...it was something I hadn't done before.
Simple small things like these make me happy.

What are your small pleasures?
