happiness to me is 5 minutes

* husband making the bed

* morning wandering walks of noticing

* school children on field trips

* older ladies with grocery carts and funny hair

* a line for donuts

* freshly clean laundry

* butternut squash soup

* toast

* dried apricots & almonds to snack

* studio time

* sparks of new ideas and color combinations

* my sweet interns caitlin & jenny

* farmer's market mornings

* chapstick

* composting

* holding hands

* wearing my paint caked apron all day

* my clogs

* rolling my pants up high with big cuffs

* soft tee shirts

* silk scarves strewn with pretty bold patterns

* reading bits of the new yorker

* bloggy love

* blue grass
