ball ideal

yesterday i went to this fabulous farmer's auction and left with a lovely little box of free things. i am most proud of the three aqua ball ideal glass canning jars. they are beautiful and sit in my windowsill. tonight i watched the sunset fill the jars and spread the light all across my desk. there was something so minutely perfect about these blue jars framed by my white lace curtains and the trees just beginning to silhouette outside. one of those moments where you kind of look around in astonishment and think, good heavens, i am here and i am alive and it is wonderful.
