Are these not the coolest things ever?

Seymour came home with some a week or so ago and when he showed them to me, I said he should have gotten a set to keep and a set to use. He slid the book back in his hand to reveal a second book of stamps and replied, “Now what makes you think I’d do something like that?”

I love him so very, very much. 😀

A good decade ago (I refuse to admit that it’s been closer to two than one) when the post office issued Looney Tunes stamps, I had a whole set. Unlike these, where each stamp is different, they released one character at a time. It took a while to collect them all, but I love those stamps just as much as I love these.

And yes, I bought myself a set to use and a set to keep. 🙂

What are your favorite stamp designs?

Wasn’t it just gorgeous yesterday? The springy beauty started early and lasted all day. I had to go out yesterday afternoon, and happened to catch this:

Flags fluttering in a light spring breeze, a vivid blue sky without a single cloud, the sun shining down – how can you beat that? Makes a girl feel glad to be alive. 🙂

This morning I was treated to a beautifully foggy sunrise:

That’s the town a couple miles from my house. Despite the fog, you can see pretty much the whole town in this picture.

I love how well this turned out! Foggy mornings are just so inspiring. 🙂

It’s not much, but it took me all weekend:

Of course, that’s probably because we cleaned all day Saturday in advance of my in-laws visiting, and then it was off to a neighboring town for the Army Field Band concert, and then there was volleyball practice and a trip to the doctor and general recovery from the lack of sleep inflicted by Daylight Savings Time.

I’m ready to fall back now. No need to wait till October – let’s do it tonight! Who’s with me? 😀

We had a stunningly warm sunset the other night:

I couldn’t help pulling over on my way home to snap a picture. The clouds came out a little blurry, but it was just too pretty to pass up. 🙂

I just can’t get enough of that beautiful blue sky. It’s been so long since we’ve seen it this regularly, and I’m enjoying it as much as possible.

What about you? Are you ready for winter to kiss us goodbye?

It’s another beautiful sunny day out there!

I just love that blue sky. And compared to the temps we’ve had lately, it’s downright balmy out there this afternoon!

Happy Friday, everybody! 🙂

The sky was a lovely shade of blue this morning, and I couldn’t help taking pictures:

There’s nothing quite as thrilling as the sight of a bright blue sky after a long winter. 🙂

It’s particularly dreary outside today; the morning started off with freezing mist and a stiff wind, and it’s not expected to get any better as the day wears on. With that in mind, I’ve got a spot of sunshine to share:

My coworker received these lovely tulips last week, and they’ve really brightened up the office. There were some purplish ones, too, that are also very pretty. 🙂

How do you cheer yourself up in the middle of winter’s drear?
