Yes, yes, a million yeses. "A multitude of small delights constitute happiness." Monsieur Baudelaire had it perfectly right. And your blog is always so full of these small delights. Thank you, Koralee.

Can't wait to see what's cooking with those strawberries, yum. They look scrumptious in that picture. Xoxo

Those red tulips are making me smile, too. I read every Trixie Belden book I could get my hands on as a young girl growing up in the 60's. Happy Tuesday, dear friend! Vicki
