As I was thinking about what small things I’d include in today’s post, I realized that none of what I had in mind were small in the least. But I guess we call these small because they don’t make a headline splash or they don’t send us out to shout about them. They just bring a moment of joy, a chuckle, a sigh of satisfaction. So I’ll say these are the small things I celebrate, but taken in total, they are amazingly large.
This year’s crop of peas produced some beautiful pink and red flower, then gave us handfuls of the sweetest peas for dinner.
Off to celebrate more small things with others in this Hop. Hope you’ll stop by and say hi to them.

Amazing things to celebrate. I love that purple tinged Iris!
Ruth Schiffmann says
Moths creep me out, yet I love butterflies. Doesn't make much sense, does it?
Old Kitty says
The moth is beautiful, as are the pretty blooms! Take care

Wow!! What an amazing flower is the last one. It's gorgeous. I'm learning to eat raw peas. I never thought I would, but at this point nothing surprises me anymore.
Diana Wilder says
That moth is a treat! Actually, the flowers… Heck, the whole thing!

Hey Lee,
Have you missed me? Yes? No? Who are you? I'm liking some peas. Except for the time a bunch of them took me hostage in a giant pod. Once I started singing, 'peas release me, let me go…'it seemed my singing did the trick.
Sorry I cannot keep up with all these blog hops this, blogfests that. And especially that other one "IWSG" aka "I Was Seeking Gary."
A peaceful weekend to you.
Gary 🙂
Laura Eno says
Beautiful splashes of color in the yard! Nice of you to provide a resting place for the moth. 😉
M Pax says
My cats love moth season. Apparently, they're very tasty. I haven't tried one yet, though. I'll take the peas. Yum!
Jemi Fraser says
So pretty! We've just got rid of our snow – although little bits are still hiding in places. My tulips and daffodils are just shooting up!
Nick Wilford says
Seems like you have a lovely garden. I wish I knew how to grow stuff! Have a great weekend!
Natalie Aguirre says
Awesome you've got blooming irises. My flowers are all so late this year. I barely have tulips yet.
C. Lee McKenzie says
We're having a heat wave here already. Can't believe we were outside last night until after ten without even a sweater.
S.K. Anthony says
Beautiful pictures!
Fresh sweet peas for dinner? Yum 😉
C. Lee McKenzie says
They are delicious!

A beautiful collection of small things to celebrate.

Thanks, Suzanne.
Elizabeth Seckman says
My Irises are blooming too. Such a sweet smell! And my grandmother gave me starts from her yard, so they make me smile from good memories too.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Plants like recipes always carried such sweet memories of people who've passed them on to us.
mshatch says
I like moths, too, some are amazingly beautiful. And that iris..wow! Gorgeous.
C. Lee McKenzie says
The Crecopia comes about every five years. This one was smaller than most, but beautiful.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
Moths are so cool looking.
My little thing today was a big thing – surviving the Challenge!
C. Lee McKenzie says
You bet it was! Congrats again.
