Wonderful things all around

Sometimes it is just time to stop and smell the roses.

Or in some cases admire the lilies that just opened up.

Or the geraniums that are so pink and cute.

And of course no trip around the yard is complete without admiring the dogs. 

Or noticing that the grass really needs to be cut. Or the your rose need to be pruned and that you really should replace the one that died. 

But there are always  more beautiful/wonderful things to admire/enjoy than worry about what isn't great.

Such as this little lily that will open up to the world tomorrow or the next day.

And the Sew Mama Sew giveaway day that is happen tomorrow. 

I wanted to participate, but forgot to sign up on time.

However, in exactly one month from today it will be my birthday and it is a big decade one, so I will probably have share that birthday celebration with you all or the giveaway gods will be angered with me. I am sure they already are for me winning last time and not signing up for giveaway day this time, but maybe my promise for the birthday celebration will appease them and I might win a giveaway :)

Have fun tomorrow on all of those giveaways and don't forget to take a moment to admire all the wonderful/beautiful things in this world; including the generosity of others.
