A Friday morning spent with Hannah on the porch was the first of today’s simple pleasures. She blew through town for work and stayed the night before taking off again.

Then there’s the rabbit (or hare) who visits every morning.

The milkweed is patiently waiting for a Monarch (they’re late this year!).

The arrival of bees who have been absent due to the rainy weather.

A snail on a Black-eyed Susan.

Blueberries by the pond.

Tiny ferns.

The last lupin of the season in the yard. And the fog rolling in. All these little pleasures together made for a lovely day.
