Treasures 2004_31

"Life … is haphazard and full of beauties which I try to catch as
they fly by, for who knows whether any of them will ever return?"


— Margot Fonteyn

Treasures are positive things that strike my fancy, that make me feel happy or thankful or interested. Treasures are memories encapsulated in just a few words,
These are my Treasures for the past week.

  • all the lovely colorful flats of annuals and perennials for planting, in the garden section of the hardware store
  • Giant Sunflowers in the front yard of a house I drove past
  • fun with numbers: The odometer on the Corolla read 213141 when I pulled into the driveway
  • Our new Scion XB — such a fun car to drive.
  • Raven, walking across my desk and "falling over" against my chest
  • Mezzaluna, "posing" on the table in the entry hall, settled next to my beltpack
  • My brilliant Richard who suggested that if he ground the sides of my new (Scion) car key flat I could more easily tell the difference between it and my other (Camry) car key; it worked!
  • Post Carb Well Peanut Butter cereal bars (yummmmmmmm)
  • funny little plants behind the building where I work; one of them has blossomed in pretty white cup-shaped flowers
