"FAVORITE THINGS" -- A NEW SERIES!

Have you ever had one of those "light bulb" moments,

 when you get so excited that you've got to start working on your idea immediately?

A couple of months ago, while I was making dinner,

I had this brainstorm about starting a regular series,
where I would enlist other bloggers to share their favorite things.
The fun part about asking a blogger a question 
is that each one will answer it in their own unique style.  
I turned off the oven, told the family to go get some pizza, 

and got busy working on my plan.  

And, today (cue the bugles)...

is the "world" premiere of what I hope will be 
a long and enjoyable run of my blogging friends'  "Favorite Things!" 

Kicking off this series is my dear friend, Doreen, from Fox Den Rd. 
You might remember that she and I actually got to meet last fall.
If you don't know Doreen, she writes about her log cabin, life in the Berkshires, 
gardening, recipes, home decor, travel, and more recently, 
adventures on the road in their newly purchased RV.
And, I might add, she writes all of this beautifully, with a terrific sense of humor. 

Let's get this series started! 

Thinking about my favorite things is always a fun endeavor. The beauty that surrounds us, just waiting to be appreciated, always astounds me, so I was delighted when Amy asked me to be part of her 'Favorite Things' series. 

I hope you enjoy, and dream a little dream with me...

A beautiful barn

all covered in white

thatched roof homes

where dreams can take flight

A cute little doll house

or a lovely 'she shed'

a modern day loft

or a canopy bed

I'm not one for clutter

and knickknacks? Taboo!

I'd much prefer

serene rooms of blue

Chocolate and coconut

are truly a dream

but not nearly as much

as cannoli cream

The ephemeral look

of newly covered snow

autumns rich colors

and summers brite glow

A stone covered gate

a meandering walk

a cozy patio

just right for a talk

Cute vintage trailers to take on the road

what a whimsical place

to call your abode

Source

Precocious sweet puppies

with eyes all aglow

with noses like nuggets

and coats like the snow

Rose covered arbors

European streets

a romantic front porch

for lovers to meet

 

A place to create

A place to roam

You are my ♥

You are my home

Thank you, Doreen, for your dreamy rendition of "Favorite Things!"  

Please take some time to visit Doreen at Fox Den Rd.!

I hope you enjoy this ongoing series.
Perhaps you will meet some bloggers you're not familiar with,
or, maybe, you'll learn something new about bloggers you already know.    

Stay tuned for the next edition of "Favorite Things,"  coming June 26!
