"Under the pavement the dirt is dreaming of grass." Wendell Berry

A thought felt by city pavement everywhere.

Unless of course where water prevails. 

If you're willing, you can, uncover pockets of magic in all of our cities by keeping our senses open. Thankfully my day this week is filled with sunshine (yay no rain) and so I'm sharing a bit of my gardens and other stuff.

Little, everyday treats.

"Things like plants and sweet people and slow-burning candles and long walks and moving water. Wrap them around you. Repeat as necessary." Victoria Erickson

Enjoy your week ahead and take good care of you.

Thank you for your visits, they're a favorite part of my day.
