It’s the little things in life that mean so much. May your days be filled with wonders! ~Bette A. Stevens, Maine author http://www.4writersandreaders.com
Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset,
the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall.
(even if the snow is just on our WP blogs)
It’s the little things that make happy
moments, not the grand events.
Joy comes in sips, not gulps.
~Sharon Draper
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Door bells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I’m feeling sad

Loved this post, Bette. This is MY season (hence my name) and I do love this song from The Sound of Music and your words to open it. Do you have snow yet??

Delighted to have you stop by for a visit, Noelle. Wishing you a Very Happy Birthday, the Merriest of Christmases and Abundant Blessings now and throughout the New Year! Finally got some snow that’s here to stay yesterday (3 inches and temps in the 20s). It certainly helps to make the season bright! Hugs ❤

Hi, Diana. Let it snow…I love the snow on our blogs too! We’re still waiting for the cold white flakes to don the now dreary landscape here in Central Maine. The little we’ve had has been washed away, but the magic of winter white is sure to stop by for an extended visit before long and light up smiles on faces young and old. Today the sun is shining and I’m smiling. Have a wonderful day! 🙂

Snow is one thing I miss about New England, though I can deal fine without the weeks of frigid cold 🙂 ❤

Wow is right! Hard to believe another year is nearing its end. We’re already enjoying the holiday season with our family. Window shopping with daughter and granddaughter tomorrow in downtown Waterville and Dan and I celebrate our 51st on Sunday. This year has flown by as has the half-century prior. Wishing you all the Happiest of Holidays too! ❤
