Thankful. Smiling. Laughing. Appreciating. Adoring.
Loving. Holding. Remembering. Sharing.
Here are seven little things that I'm loving today.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: His hand in mine
:: Gorgeous views on a new to us trail
:: His focus when he crafts
:: Meals grown in our backyard (everything but the pasta)
:: Our fall equinox fire, complete with a little gratitude ceremony for the summer that was
and a moment to reflect on what this season will bring
:: His growing confidence, not only one skates, but in everything he does
:: The seasons first waxed leaves, there will be more of these for sure
What simple things are you loving today?

Linking up with my friend Lisa at Little Coffee Beans for Seven Things
I am enjoying the nip in the air and the way the sun shines differently through my windows. The slanted kind of sunshine !
ReplyDeleteAll good things :)
DeleteWaxed leaves??? Do you have a "how to" on this? Never seen it before!!! Great post Kim love reading your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Super easy, melt some beeswax, dip the leaves, let the wax drip off and that's it. These leaves were pretty flat so I didn't press them first, but if they were curled up, I would have pressed them in a book for a night then waxed them.
DeleteSome people hang them to dry, but really they dry super fast, I just hold them over the bowl of wax for 15 to 20 seconds and then lay them on the counter.
Enjoy!
Beautiful Kim. I love being able to watch as your young man grows and discovers the world and himself.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracey.
DeleteBeautiful! How do you make the waxed leaves? And what do you do with them?
ReplyDeleteThanks KC! I explained it in a comment above, really easy. These ones are for a walking stick Reece is creating so he has one when we go hiking. I plan to do a whole bunch once more leaves fall and hope to make a garland.
DeleteI've been thinking about doing waxed leaves this year too! Wish we could have a bonfire in our backyard. Peak of fire season around here though.
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful. Country living has its advantages and one of them is bonfires in the backyard :)
DeleteThanks, maybe next fall when we live in a place with leaves i can try this!
DeleteLovely seven things. I'm with everyone else...time for a "how to" on the waxed leaves. It's finally starting to cool off down here, but it's still in the 70's in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteThanks Melissa. The waxed leaves are explained above in the comments, super easy and they looks beautiful.
Deletewonderful!
ReplyDeleteThat fire. That trail. That meal!! His tongue sticking out :) Love this list. Happy Tuesday Kim!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks Lisa. Happy Tuesday to you too!
DeleteLovely list. The leaves look lovely, ours are everywhere in the house and it looks so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHappy Autumn!
