Simple Pleasure

O bed! O bed! delicious bed!
That heaven upon earth to the weary head.
~Thomas Hood, Miss Kilmansegg - Her Dream

And if tonight my soul may find her peace
in sleep, and sink in good oblivion,
and in the morning wake like a new-opened flower
then I have been dipped again in God, and new-created.
~D.H. Lawrence

Sending prayers out to all those who have lost or been lost in the devastating storms that have swept across the south.
PEACE & BLESSINGS, Tammy

    Oh YES, Tammy.....our beds are true simple pleasures. I think beds should be the most comfortable places possible...soft sheets, comfy mattresses, warm blankets, dreamily comfortable pillows, and they should look pretty, too. Ahhhhh, nice beds enhance our sleep and that is very important. That's a great simple pleasure, Tammy. Susan

    Love this, Tammy. I lost my cat a few weeks ago (he looked a lot like yours).

    Praying for those affected by the terrible storms.

    Hi Tammy, that was a darling post. Thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods. Yes I had my comments off for Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday. The three holiest days in the Catholic church. I did not realize I was not a follower of yours so I just popped on in there. Blessings.

    Love the quote and photos. Your cat looks so content. If only life were this simple. My thoughts and prayers are with those in the South that have lost so much. Checked with family in Ky and they are safe. Just lots of rain and some wind damage. Our vacation home will require some roof repair but no water damage so far.

    Oh, how divine, Tammy! Maybe even more so since I stayed up almost all night with my girls to watch THE wedding! Bed is sounding pretty good right now...but I'll just have to wait!

    Hope you're having a lovely day, dear friend...

    I love your tapestry cushions. The words you have chosen for this post are beautiful. I've just been away for a few days and to come home and sleep in one's own bed is sheer bliss. A great simple pleasure.

    Dearest Tammy,

    Guess that our cats are already living in 'heaven'... They can really claim there spots in a smart way.
    Indeed we have to feel for those affected by the terrible storms in the south. Mother nature can be so cruel.

    Lots of love,

    Mariette

    I wish I could bring you some of the spring flowers we all all over here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon and share a cafe au lait in that little restaurant that serves them in bowls you mentioned in your comment at my place.
