A Saturday Joy - a few of my favorite things

I had to laugh at the joy I felt welling up at my center when I saw this still life.  There they are, the ABCs of me. This little configuration isn't at all inclusive, but pretty foundational.

a.  The coffee machine (in my antique kitchen)

b.  The dish soap, because I always have a dish to wash

c.  The paint brushes which accompany the toe in the water, the foot in the water, the jumping in with some art

d.  The empty salad dressing bottle ready for whichever version of Dijon Vinaigrette comes next

e.  The bamboo cutting board from my friend Joe, years ago.

And, my friend, I ask you:  What are the ABCs of you?

Ah! A gift to share!

I'm 99% certain you won't comment to ask what kind of lens I used to capture this pic. It's my Blackberry, but look! A little spring on the Red Bud Tree.

I'm ever so happy to share it with you.

Don't forget the giveaway!

March!

Well, it seems we'd be in like a lamb, so, out like a lion?
Beautiful blue sky weather here makes me hopeful.
March brings spring and more retreats for kiddos here.
Spring cleaning is beginning to nip at the edges of my mind.

How about you?
What does March signify in your heart and head?
