This challenge is simple: step back for a few minutes each week to find a lovely thing, a precious moment, anything you find lovely. Then post about it. You can just post a picture or you can go into detail and tell it as a reflection, story or poem.
It could be anything:
a smile…a rainbow…a flower…a kind act…a tasty treat

My lovely for this week
My little friends. I spent a lovely morning sitting out under my apple tree watching the hummingbirds.
Join in!
I will post once a week, Sunday at noon in Seattle (8pm GMT) is my goal, and put a list of posts from the previous week in it. Basically using the same method I do with the Pull up a Seat Challenge. Detailed instructions are on the page: Whatsoever is lovely blog challenge.
Background
We live in a world that seems to value drama, anger, fear and violence. Being mean often passes for being smart. These are the things that “go viral”, magnified in the media. Sometimes, the things that really make life worth living are small and simple. They don’t make for good TikTok. This is a chance to share that type of moment from our lives.

Your hummers are gorgeous and definitely lovely! Back from our road trip, and can include links easier now. https://secondwindleisure.com/2022/07/31/sunday-stills-dessert-in-the-deserts/

They are GORGEOUS. I can understand why you’d enjoy watching them for a while. They’re very small, aren’t they? I don’t think we get them here.

I think these are 3 to 4 inches long.

I can picture your idyllic time under the apple tree: the fragrance from all around you, the wind tickling your hair, the delight of those lovely birds. We don’t have hummingbirds in Singapore, just their cousins, The Sunbird.
