Loving Lately

Every Monday the lovely Catherine Denton shares what she is Loving Lately and she is encouraging others to do the same. I love the idea and she inspired me to go for it.  I hope you'll hop over to her blog and share a link to what you love too. 

So here's what I'm loving lately:


Lil A. My friends daughter, who, at three months old, took her first subway ride to visit our home.  I love that she is soft and warm and new.  I love her mother-- and her father-- but especially her mother because we lived as roommates for years. We knew one another when we hoped to have the things we have now. And I know how lucky Lil A is to have her.


New York City. For making me angry and sweaty and overwhelmed. For being louder and more crowded than I like. For inspiring me to look harder, discover deeper. For being more beautiful and alive than I can ever imagine.


Summer. For being purple. Vibrant. Green.  

What are you loving lately?

    I am loving memories of those I love. Just returned home from visiting my newborn grandson in Switzerland. Those memories will linger.

    As I sat on the floor of my tiny kitchen yesterday, cutting corn off the cob (I was on the floor b/c my sliver of counter space was in use), I was loving that I know so many people with gardens and I have lots of fresh veggies to eat now and more in the freezer that I can pull out when the weather gets cold.

    Also, I love that my town fixed whatever issue there was with my water and it no longer smells like sewage b/c that was mega gross :)

      I love knowing people with gardens and eating fresh vegetables just as much, Jennifer. And I'm very happy about your water situation! Oh my.

    Oh, wow, beautiful. What am I loving lately? My daughter just left for college, and I am loving the fact that she is about to enter adulthood and establish her own life. Scary. But I'm loving it too. :)
