Just a Busy Little Bee

The sun is just beginning to peek through the trees in our backyard this morning as I'm out hanging out my first load of laundry.



I wanted to get an early start for my busy day.
My laundry is now finished.
I've watered my garden.
I've taken my early morning walk.
I've got a little time to enjoy the outside beauty before beginning my inside chores.

The Blackeyed Susans are cheering me on as I check off my To-Do list.

One in particular teaches me a lesson as I pause to snap its picture.
It seems to ask me the question, "Do you have to be perfect to bring beauty into the lives of others?"


I spread out my newly completed Log Cabin quilt table topper.


Another cheery spot to my morning.






Looking around for a special centerpiece for the table, I spy my gardenia bush right outside my breakfast room window and it's covered with heavenly scented white blooms!



Perfection!


The reason I've got such a long To-Do list today is because sweet hubby and I are heading out on an anniversary celebration trip!
