“After all,” Anne had said to Marilla once, “I believe the nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string.”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

Beautiful quote, and beautiful photo too. Love the dark red contrasting with the light grey – sort of a festive feel to the photo 🙂

A delicate understated elegance…a beautiful combination the tough with the delicate. Lovely colours and lovely words in that excerpt .

I’m not sure which I like best – the wreath or the weathered boards. Both are simply beautiful.

I loved the character Anne, thanks for bringing her. Simplicity is the best gift…like cold shower after an intense workout, the trailers before the movie, the soft kiss of a toddler on the cheeks, a random stranger helping out…
