I have been reminded recently by a few friends, a mother and daughter actually, that its the little things that make life breath taking and cozy and bright and worth while. They got me thinking, this time of year has the little things I like the best as so I am more apt to remember them. I love the colors that are typical to this season. I love the foods. I love the cooler air, and the clothes that go with the temperature drops. I love the Way leaves fall and how the wind catches them. I love the holidays this time of year as well. Halloween through New Years Eve.

There are other Little things that make life beautful all year round of course. The Moon on the snow and the shush that falling snow puts on the world. The First tulips in the spring and the way the sun warms you even as the winter chill is still in the air. The soft humm of the lawnmower and the smell of fresh cut grass. A TALL glass of fresh sweet tea and the way the sand feels just right warm after a dip in the ocean. Not to mention the wonderful little things I have with me all year in my husband and children.

But today's little thing that made it a really good day was a new discovery. An afternoon fire.
I made it with the wind fallen branches nothing too thick. It burns out pretty quickly.

In fact it lasts just as long as a cup of hot chocolate and the needed time to put your feet up.

And who could not love it when it gets a smile like that?

(and yes that is a Star Wars shirt, which on an somewhat tangential note is another finer thing in my life, my little geekette.<3)

So this is what I am thinking about what about you? For other finer things head over to Amy's and for more Thoughts this weekend stop by Crystals. But I would love to hear about the little things in your life that make the walk wonderful.
Vade in pace
