I'm also loving the serenade we're getting as our daughter rehearses Holst's "The Planets" and Beethoven's Symphony No. 5 on trombone.
And I'm loving that my son, the chemical engineering / biochemistry undergrad, is devouring his new coffee-table glossy image book of the periodic table of the elements as if it were a video game guide.
And I'm loving this quiet, relaxing evening on the couch with my husband, watching a movie as the house settles down into the dark, quiet evening.
There's a lot to be said for the empty calendar and obligation-free time immediately after the holiday rush.
Linking to The Tablescaper's Seasonal Sundays.

ReplyDeleteOh, you are so right. We are all so overscheduled. It is so wonderful to take time to enjoy the simple moments of life!

What a wonderful posts, Jenny! I enjoyed every word and every picture, and I agree... it's time to relax and unwind after all of the hustle and bustle. I want one of those muffins... mind if I snitch one??? ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Seasonal Sunday...
