What are my hobbies? Home -- everything that makes it cozy and comforting. Homemaking, decorating, cooking, hospitality, thrifting, taking care of my people, and creating a peaceful place to rest.

Dreams are like seeds. You don't wake up one morning to a forest. You water. You wait. You believe. And then one day -- you see green where there was only soil.

...That it's possible to be satisfied with what you have; that if you have a house and a flower garden and the assurance of daily bread, it is enough. Life is wonderful to-day, Margaret, very wonderful.
~ Gene Stratton-Porter ~
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
~ William Wordsworth ~
Living in that childish wonder is a most beautiful feeling. There was always something more- behind and beyond everything- to me, the golden spectacles were very, very big.
~ Kate Greenaway ~
The world needs the home. If there are only workers and no homes, then man will become nothing more than a piece of machinery; children will certainly be trampled. Beauty will be drained out of life.
~ Leila Marie Lawler ~
You'll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.
~ Mandy Hale ~

Thank you for visiting my little corner...I hope these tulips brought you as much cheer and whimsy as they brought me when I came across them one day whilst out running errands and I just had to turn the car around and pull over to capture the springtime beauty. And I hope these quotes inspire and encourage you as much as they did me...they're some of the newest additions to my collection.
And mostly, I hope that your day is peaceful, lovely, and full of small moments filled with delight.
