Hello there sweet friends..
A simply beautiful day here in Eastern Canada ..
The sun shone and the temps were just right..
A wonderful Monday to begin the week..
I thought that I would share 5 simple pleasures of my day with you.. OK?
Checking the bird feeders and watching the early morning visitors would be number one..
We had a small flock of these first thing this morning..
Another simple country pleasure today was this new notebook..
A lovely gift from a dear friend... Imagine 400 pages...smile...
Number 3 simple pleasure has to be this little guy..
Sammi... unconditional love... every day.. smile..
Number 4... Just a simple garden salad for lunch..
I can eat salad almost every day.. So long as there is a simple homemade dressing..
Basil, garlic, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper is today's house dressing..smile..
What is your favorite salad dressing?
And last but not least... Number 5 which is this new book...
A SLICE OF ORGANIC LIFE..
I enjoyed going through it.. It has a lot of good green ideas in it..
Here is a floor washing recipe for you...
FLOOR CLEANER RECIPE..
Into a bucket of warm water mix together...
1/4 cup of liquid soap
1/2 - 1 cup of white vinegar..
To enhance the fragrance you can add a few drops of essential oils of choice (lavender, orange) along with a few drops of tee-tree oil if desired..
Well, my dears that is all for tonight..
Would you like to leave me a list of 5 of your simple pleasures..
Or more if you like.. smile...

I love your blog, Faye. I am going to try this floor cleaner. I also liked the post with the room air fresheners. I found you through Cathyjo. xo
ReplyDeleteThis was wonderful, Faye... I feel as though I know you a little better now.... *grin*
ReplyDeleteHere are a few of mine~
I love the first taste of coffee in the morning (and the smell of it brewing too!); I love the way the sheep smell when they brush up against my barn jacket; I love to listen to my four crazy little roosters crowing very early and distinguishing who is who, (yes I can tell which one is which! *haha*) and I love to hear the birds very late in the evening calling to each other.
Oh, and I love it when I remember to bring my boots inside for the night so they'll be warm the next morning. :)
Oh Faye, this is a tough one as I have so many but here,s a few. Coming back to my cosy home after being out for awhile.2.My furry friends{4 poodles and 2 kitties}. 3. the health of Family and friends.4. Crafting in my craftroom when its storming outside. 5.YOU! my dear cousin,you always uplift and inspire me and make me happy.
ReplyDeleteFaye, again we share many of the same:
ReplyDelete1. Feeding the birds at my feeder
2. Planning and making healthy supper for my family
3. Looking at my blog and dashboard posts
4. My animals - going into the barn and being welcome by a neigh, baah or cock a doodle.
5. My lists and crossing stuff off that I accomplished.
I made a super easy citrus dressing:
sunflower oil (found at discount store - LOVE it) honey, apple cider vinegar. I shook it all together and put it on a salad of lettuce, spinich, jullianne (spelling) raw beets, raw pecans, pineapple, orange slices, red onion and drizzed with honey and then the dressing. It was really good!
Blessings from Wisconsin.
Today's pleasures:
ReplyDelete1. The sun is shining.
2. The sun is shining.
3. The sun is shining.
4. The sun is shining.
5. And Jesus loves me!
I love italian salad dressing-the unhealthy grocery store kind. I should learn to make my own!
I hope you are having a great week.
:)Vicki
Love your list...mine...blue skies in January, peanut butter on homemade oat bread, sewing, gardening in January, sitting next to my hubby on the love seat...each with a good book in our hands...have a great day!!
ReplyDeleteHi there. I'm a fellow New Brunswicker and noticed your comment on Camp and Cottage Living's blog yesterday. Somebody mentioned your blog to me a while back but I forgot the name of it so I'm glad I found you again. I'll be following you now. Stay warm as it's going to be a very cold night. Blessings, Pamela
