Saturday pleasures

“If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. But I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” 
― E.B. White 


Fresh bread with home-made Apricot jam for breakfast

Hanging a bottle filled with fresh water and Nasturtiums from a tree




Watching a garden ornament gently spinning in the breeze


A nest discovered in the back yard


A basket of Pecan nuts brought over by a friend


My favourite sugar bowl


Wooden ducks on my kitchen table


Late-afternoon visitors to my garden


Snuggling up in my favourite armchair, reading a friend's poetry book while sipping a glass of red


What were your pleasures this Saturday?

    1. Hi Renate, living in the bush helps a lot! But I must say that wildlife is not nearly as rife as it was 20 or more years ago. Civilization has moved ever closer, much to the detriment of the wildlife, I am sad to say. Thank you for your kind words, I love that you like my blogs! I hope you have a lovely week week ahead!
