May came in like a lamb this week with sunny days and warm weather. Trees are leafing out and lilacs are blooming. Crabapple trees blossom in all shades of pink. My neighbor's tulips have put on a show and are slowly giving way to the iris, which will be blooming any day now.
It's Friday! and I'm linking up with Friday's Fave Five. On this busy day I want to pause and take time to savor some moments from the past week.
A favorite show ~ I've been watching the newest season of Call the Midwife. I'm trying to savor it slowly -- and some evenings I'll watch just one episode, but not always. I love the characters, the time period, the story line. I know that it is based on a series of books, so I may have to look for those when this season is over!
The cover is off the camper! ~ and we've planned our 'shake-down' weekend, where we go for one or two nights to work out the bugs for the new season. I'll post about that in a couple weeks. For now, Dan is making a couple of improvements such as putting in a shelf for the new coffee maker. I'm making lists and planning menus for a long trip we are taking at the end of the month.
A chance encounter with a friend ~ I was coming out of the library earlier this week, when I ran into someone I hadn't seen in years. We met when we had school library duty together when our kids were small. Then, she worked for a time at our city library and we would see each other every so often. So, it seems appropriate that we both happened to be at the library and met in the parking lot. It has been several years! and it was so good to catch up.
On my nightstand ~ Some books I've picked up that are on my pile to read. Just looking at this photo makes me happy.
Morning walks ~ I started each day this week with a walk. It's migration season, so I'm always seeing new arrivals, my favorite being the warblers. Speaking of birds and books (weren't we?) I'm excited to share this one with my grandkids again this year. It's a beautiful story of a little warbler's trip from South America through the United States and into Canada.
Happy Friday to all!
Your faves are so joyful!!
ReplyDeleteI love morning walks (just got back from a 2.7 mile one in our large town park with my SoulSteps Walking group). I'm loving my tulips and pear and cherry tree blossoms. The cherry trees are especially gorgeous and so lightly scented and beautiful.
YAY for sharing good books with grands, reading good books and running into an old friend.
Have a blessed weekend.
I love Call the Midwife! I just discovered it last fall and binge watched it. I have the books too, but waiting to finish the Left Behind series. Good that you enjoy morning walks. I am not a morning person and I have been going to the gym in the afternoon. Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteI just finished Whose Waves These are a week or so ago. SO good. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
ReplyDeleteThat bird book looks neat.
I haven't seen Call the Midwife. I read the first book, which was good except for one very graphic scene.
How fun to run into your friend at the library!
Hello! Few things make me happier than a stack of books waiting for me. Have a cozy weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Call the Midwife! Can’t wait for the new episodes to be available.
ReplyDeleteI love all your faves this week. The books! I'm going to look up all of them. And I'm wondering if my little granddaughter PAL would like the Warbler book.
ReplyDeleteYou're ahead of us on camper readiness. Thanks for the push!
Have a good weekend!
Hi Karen. Call the Midwife is a good show. I love the books on your nightstand. They all look very good. We are also planning our summer travel and looking forward to some adventures. I hope you have a great week. See you again soon!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to have a favorite show to look forward to. Hubby and I are enjoying "Monk" right now on Netflix. How fun to run into a friend you haven't seen in quite a while. I've heard great things about The Secret Book of Flora Lea and I do believe I have the Windsor Knot on my library to read shelves. What anticipation of good times coming getting the camper ready must bring!
