Talking about " My Sunshine"

 It has been a beautiful day today, especially after all that rain over the weekend!! Had to keep all my gardening plans on hold due to our recent storm.
    It's so nice to see the sun shining... lifts my spirit so much and "makes me so happy"........have been enjoying all that glorious sunshine all day and managed to get most of my vegetable and flower beds ready for planting.... can't wait for Memorial Day, so I can get busy planting... my neighbor stopped by and we shared tea and talked about our common passion, "gardening," and how to keep those woodchucks out of our flower beds... they love gobbling up my garden in a hurry!!!!!! 
     I love listening to John Denver's songs and this song got stuck in my head today... kept humming it all day long.... I tried to capture some of that elusive sunshine, so here goes!!!!!

             Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy......

                    Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
               If I had a day that I could give you
            I'd give to you a day just like today...
 
                                                                               
If I had a wish that I could wish for you
 I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while!!!!! 

I love seeing the first hint of spring green!!!


       


I love talking "garden " with my neighbor, she is an avid gardener who shares so many helpful gardening tips with me.....

 Bringing a little bit of sunshine inside...


 
                   These leaf-patterned wooden trays, were a recent find from JoAnn:


 I picked up the Blue Willow tea cups and sugar-creamer set while antiquing.
 A little close-up on the adorable silver and mother-of-pearl tea spoon and Pietra Dura marble coaster set

Here is a little tid bit: Pietra Dura is an Italian word for inlaid stone in marble. Its an  ancient form of decorative art that first appeared in 16th century Rome, and later spread to Florence, Italy... the Taj Mahal is a magnificent example of Pietra Dura....

   I have a fascination with lanterns and love collecting them... they are so versatile in setting up any mood I want to create..                                                   
I had enjoyed this bright and sunny day today and  visiting with my neighbor, but now I must bid adieu to the  sun as dusk approaches and the tea and muffins are gone!!!!
