Simple Beauty

Sometimes without knowing it, we create beauty simply by living. Today, I was inspired by the basket of avocados and lemons from my in laws. The color was just beautiful. Yellow and green. Simple beauty tossed together in a basket. I was inspired.

Woe is me though. These are the last of their avocados. No more free guacamole.

Beauty in my breakfast. A yolk that will go to the dog. Lucky girl.

My breakfast of eggs, spinach and feta cheese. Did you know you can freeze feta. I do and just break off a chunk when I need it. It will thaw while cooking or take out a little earlier for salads.

Reseeded flowers. They come up here and there. Wherever they like.

    To me the simple things of life bring as more pleasure than some of the costly. I love avocados.

    I'd love to have a source for free avocados! Oh my gosh, I'll bet you are sorry that's the last of them. I also love Feta Cheese, and did not know it could be frozen. Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a beautiful weekend!... Donna

    I might need to plant an avocado tree. I need to find out if they grow in Arizona.

    Thanks for the tip on the feta. Mine often goes bad!
