Well...remember those decorative gourds mentioned in my 8-13-11 blog, What Happened to the Watermelon? They have been cut from the vine, have been brought into the house and are adding a bit - almost a kiss - of sunshine to every room.
Nineteen in total from one small vine growing in one small raised bed - not bad. Enough to spread throughout the house to cast the last of the harvest cheer before...(dun, dun, dunnnn) winter arrives.
Since only one vine was growing, I harvested only one type of gourd. But, this particular gourd is one of my favorites - bright orange, enhanced with a deep green bottom, and covered with amazing textural bumps. Each one different and each one interesting.
Little things, like a gourd, can bring me lots of pleasure. Think about it...what little things bring joy into your day?

I have a huge mental list of little things that make me happy, make me smile; and I add to the list almost daily.
It truly is the little things in life...
