Do not trust your memory; it is a net full of holes; the most beautiful prizes slip through it.
— Georges Duhamel
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.
- An exuberant crop of toadstools after the last rain
- A splendiferous day! Warm, sunny, a touch of light breeze. It's much too pretty to be a Friday and I have to work!
- A new quote collection site!
- A woman with a bubble wand making huge soap bubbles in the park with her kids
- A man driving past with his dog as his copilot
- Our ornamental plum tree, about which I was greatly concerned, is leafing out! It was coated in lichens and something like spanish moss and I had feared for its survival but it did not succumb. (I've been removing as much of the lichen and moss as I can to help it out).
- The first lilacs of the season. Mmmmmmmm.
- One of my better dreams (the kind with a plot).
- Spring perfume (something is in bloom!)
- "Chatting" with Rich while he's at a conference. We've never done that before; it's fun to keep in touch and he can tell me about the talks.
