There’s a particular feeling when you’re nearing the end of a trying time and you begin to feel like yourself again. It’s as if a veil has been lifted and the beautiful things in life are re-revealed. It feels natural to smile at the little happy things in every day, to feel gratitude often. Breathe in, breathe out… and see all of the good around us. Here is this week’s “good”….
I’m beyond eager to begin our Kauai get-away this weekend.
A gorgeous flower arrangement sent from two dear, far-off friends.
Date night out: sushi and sake!
The trees in Salt Lake City are blossoming like crazy!
Nancy was in town. We had a fabulous, long wine lunch like the old days!
Sometimes this is far more appealing than homemade anything.
Miraculously, we didn’t get rained on during this hike!
I often bring home rocks from our explorations. I love this color.
First outdoor grilling of the season! #hallelujah
Sweet puppy paws.
So much fruit lately!
Tulips, blue sky, plump birdies.
I love the rock formations on this trail.
Desert flowers.
My view while doing sit-ups during commercials.
Happy blogiversary to me! I made rum punch.
Heart.
Big blue sky.
This cocktail was made with apple puree and dill. Yummy!
Two weeks later, I’m still finding feathers!
One year ago, it dumped snow.
Two years ago, I met Miss Macy for the first time. She was just four days old!
Three years ago, I was on the beach on the Big Island!
And here’s the in-bed scene from this morning.
You know. Just the usual bliss.
One year ago: I shared my dear friend Liz’s Italian Sausage Soup recipe. Delish!

Love the puppy paws and the gorgeous scenery on your hike. I also agree that sometimes, you just gotta go for the box-brownies or cookies! 🙂 Have so much fun in Kuaui!
The hikes get better and better this time of year, as Park City wakes up to spring.
Thanks, Jorie!
Enjoy Kauai – Play, Have FUN, Relax:) Loving your captures – makes me want to escape outdoors with a pup in tow or just lazy around in bed together – ha! Happy Bliss:)
