simple.

Tell me this isn’t beautiful.

It’s the Real Deal.

And it’s one of my favorite types of beauty – the practical kind.

Oh, how I love when Function meets Beauty.

A fresh strawberry smoothie.  As in – these strawberries were picked only hours before they were blended harmoniously together in my lame Black & Decker blender.

And as if fresh, in season, local strawberries were not beauty enough on their own . . . there’s the glass.

Isn’t it cute?

It, too, is another pleasing little example of Beauty.

The beauty of finding a great deal on a tiny treasure.

This glass was purchased at the almost-giving-it-away price of $0.68.  (That’s why I bought three.)

I’m not kidding.  (Go visit your local Pier 1 right away.)

This was just a little taste of spring.

On a random day.

For no reason.

But it is the kind of beauty, the kind of simplicity, that helps to sustain me on so many days.

(It’s the every day.  You know?)
