Raindrops, Smiling Faces and Pink Bakery Boxes

1. Raindrops from last night's downpour sparkling in the low morning sunlight.

2. Waking up to a beautiful bouquet of flowers placed on the kitchen counter by a sweet new smiling face who has recently joined our brood...A college student who could ill afford them, which makes them just that much sweeter.

3. Sneaking off to Jimmy's Italian Foods and giggling with my daughter as we eat Torte Della Fragola (Strawberry Torte) with plastic forks straight out of the pink bakery box in the parked car while waiting for a summer storm to arrive.
