I thought this would be really easy, but that turned out not to be true. I have so many favorite things (and yes, that would include brown paper packages tied up with string…lol!) that I couldn’t make a decision about which four to feature. I’ve cheated a bit by making some collages (with some new photos, but most from the archives) under general categories that have allowed me to include lots of my favorite things. Since Karma specifically said “things,” I have not included people. My family, of course, are tops on any list, but they are not things and that eliminated them automatically. It made it easier for me, too, because none of them (as far as I know) wish to appear on the blog. I don’t know why not. I might make them rich and famous. Okay, maybe not. I don’t have that much blog traffic (another reason for them not to worry about showing their mugs around here).
The collage up above features one of my most favorite of things: The pond and the land here at Breezy Acres, in all seasons and all times of the day. Even when I’m complaining about the weather, I love it here.

I was ready to jump on the bandwagon and join in the fun. But as the month grew older, I grew no wiser as to what I was going to do with the theme of idioms. With so much to pick from, I was drawing a blank.

I have all the colors covered in the one photo above. Our spinners don’t come out until the summer months, and this one has all the colors of the rainbow included in its design.
