Blue skies are back.
After several days of dust, the clean up is certainly not a pleasure, but absolutely necessary if I want to invite the outdoors in.

Good morning. Such pretty pictures and so inviting ... no trace of dust storm here. Breakfast looks like simple elegance, love the doily. Not sure, but I think it looks familiar. Have a wonderful day / evening. Blessings.
Oh good...no more dust and pretty blue skies..and Jingles helping with the cleaning again I see!!! and that doiley isn't the only thing...off the hook...breakfast looks yummy!
Have a wonderful day Tammy...
Looks like your day is off to a great start! Especially the blue skies. :)
Simple pleasures indeed!...especially the blue sky, something we are having here as well! :o)
have a lovely day!
Great simple pleasure....love the words "never making demands whatsoever on others"...I need to put that into action.
Hi Tammy...Was that Jingles who wanted to join you for breakfast? Soooo sweet. It's true that gratitude makes like even more precious. Susan
Ah, Tammy ... this post (and that quote at the end) filled me with a sense of calm. It's amazing how even though our outer world may be hectic, we can still have inner calm, just by recognizing the simple things in life.
Simple pleasures indeed. These all look like delightful pleasures. Life's what you make it. If I came to visit you Jingles would be a most welcome guest on my lap. However, I've found that if a cat thinks you want to pet him he'll get snooty. But if you hate cats (like some people who could never be my friends) they're all over you. Have a wonderful day Tammy.

What a lovely post I love the pictures !!!
Simple pleasures are just the best! I really enjoyed your post. :)
Tammy I think I have gained quite a few pounds looking at all the yummy food you have been posting lately!!
It all looks wonderful. I'm welcoming the blue skies too!
And now, I am really craving a piece of toast. This is the second simple pleasure to mention it. This one did me in since marmalade is my topping of choice.
Simply, pleasurable!
What a great simple pleasure. Thanks for sharing with us.
Hugs,
Cindy
Like Debbie, I'm hankering after a piece of that toast with the cheese and orange marmalade...yummy! Love the pictures and your cat is beautiful!

OK, now I want toast with cheese! Off to the kitchen!

Seems we both were eating toast with yummy toppings today. That ginger marmalade sounds heavenly.... and your doily 'just off the hook' makes a very pretty background.
Lovely to meet a new friend who loves the simple pleasures in life.
Here's wishing you glimpses of heaven in unexpected places.
Yummy! That marmalade sounds delish!
I love how you always have such a happy and optimistic attitude. I need to slow down and take some time to enjoy some of the simple things!
Great photos.

Glad you are seeing blue skies today. We have had a lot of dust too, so not surprised to hear that it is invading Kuwait too!! It is getting HOT here. It was 41 this morning. YIKES!! Your birds looks too happy to be visiting you! Hope they are not teasing Jingles too much!!
Love ya,
Renee
Lovely post, Tammy....I especially liked the morning visitor pic. I've never thought of trying marmalade with cheese on toast. It looks delicious!
