I started my day with early morning coffee out on the porch — just me, the birds, and the Lord. We had the sweetest visit. I didn't stay long, it started getting hot really quick!
There's something about the quiet of morning and a gentle breeze that makes it feel like God leans in a little closer to listen.
Afterwards, I spent the morning happily working on my latest diamond art project. There's something soothing about placing each tiny gem, one by one — like painting with sparkles. It’s slow and peaceful, just the way I like it.
Lunch was a treat! Dairy Queen catered — a crispy chicken strip basket, hot fries, and a little cup of country gravy on the side. Simple pleasures are the best kind.
Mr. D had a music gig in the afternoon, so I was on my own for a bit. But before I had time to miss him, Tammy popped in for a visit — and she brought little Adalyn with her!
This precious great-grandbaby always brings a sparkle to my day. There’s just something about loving on those little ones that fills the soul right up.
I would’ve loved to head back out to the porch swing for a second round of fresh air and birdsong, but mercy — the heat was just too much. {Sigh} Maybe tomorrow will be cooler.
When Mr. D came home, he was beaming.
Not only did the gig go well, but an old friend showed up to surprise him. They had a grand time reminiscing about the good ol’ days — stories, laughter, and all.
We ended the evening with a light supper, I spent a little time on the computer, and read a few pages of Cora before turning out the lights.
Turn out the lights, the party's over
They say that, 'All good things must end'
Let's call it a night, the party's over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
Just an ordinary day — but full of sweet blessings if you take the time to count them. ♥
Mary, Tammy is precious. Today, July 1st, is Canada 🇨🇦 Day.
