Sun, sand, wind and rain – we’re getting used to summertime here in the Pacific North West! I haven’t found much time for sewing this week, but I have spent most of its days outdoors. Beach combing, lighthouse hunting, reveling in the magic of sunsets and taking long family drives. I hope you’re having a beautiful week as well. Happy Five Things Friday!
Here are this week’s five things at random from Barbara Ann Kipfer’s book, 14,000 Things to be Happy About, plus a five-photo-roundup of things that made me smile this week. Read on for the link-up info.
Five things to be happy about:
- the soul-stirring sound of rain on the roof
- when you finally remember the word or name you had on the tip of your tongue
- incomprehensible good luck
- the splintery crack of new books
- begonia pink
Five smiles photo-roundup:

That sounds like a perfect plan! We’re keeping things pretty lazy on a rainy day here. It’s a nice break from the heat. 😊 Going to read your happy things right now!

Our plan was to make sun tea, but unfortunately the sun didn’t get the memo! We decided on infused water instead. 😉

I’d like to think I was that prepared, haha. Truth is, I take waaaaay too many photos and just end up picking my favorites every week. It works pretty well though! 😋 Heading to your blog now!
