a myriad of summer pleasures.

{nostalgia}

I am reading what undoubtedly the sweetest thing I've ever read. When I was a baby, my Mom started documenting each day to me, in a journal. Stories of good & not-so-good days, hysterical moments, and "i love you"s grace the pages, and I find myself smiling & laughing while I read. This journal is such  sweet thing to have. I can't wait to do the same thing some day. 

{iced beverages}

It's been sweltering hot in the Prairies, y'all. Seriously. With the humidex, it was 49° C {120° F} today. So, I delight in pretty much anything iced lately. Sun tea, lemonade, iced coffee, water - i'll take it all. Not hot tea for me this week! {Also, I've been saying 'y'all far too much in the past few months. And I love it. Carlotta may be to blame. ;)}

{feathers, please}

Tucked amid my crazy, unruly head of hair, are two feathers. One is red, the other speckled. They're very small & subtle, but I smile whenever I see one out the corner of my eye. {I cannot seem to get a good shot of them, hence the feather earring photo.}

{instagram}

I am still very much in love with Instagram. It's such a simple way to capture beautiful moments.

So, tell me. What little pleasures have been making you smile lately?
