Quote of the Day “The world in which a man lives shapes itself chiefly by the way in which he looks at it. ” Arthur Schopenhauer

Ahhh Monday. Here we are again. 😉

Word on the street is temps are going to be in the mid 70’s today here in Pacific Northwest. I guess that means I need to get out there and water my garden. I have yet to turn on the sprinklers yet this year and I’m trying to hold off as long as possible.

Do you have a kiddie pool for your dog? I’ve been thinking about getting Lucy one because she likes to spend so much time outside. What do you think? I’d love to know if you have one and if it gets used.

Well, have a great Monday everyone,

♥ Mavis

Have a Wonderful Sunday!

Quote of the Day ” Being at ease with not knowing is crucial for answers to come to you.” Eckhart Tolle

It rained all day yesterday. I worked on the blog until noon, took a two hour nap, dyed some wool, finished 2 hooked rug pumpkins and then, pulled weeds out front. It was lovely. Slow days with no plans and nowhere to go make me happy these days.

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Ferris Bueller 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone,
