Wow it really is Happy Monday. I got woken up at 12.12am by the sound of rain on our roof. I measured 16mls in the gauge at 9.00am and have had some more gentle rain since then. Spare a thought though for the people of Carnarvon who are under flood at the moment.
I am also happy to have been doing some reading of late. I enjoy reading and over Summer I seem to do more of it. Last week I read Maeve Binchy's new book called "Finding Frankie." I also found out that another author Miss Read has written a new book and have ordered this from the library.
I can also say I am happy that I defrosted my freezer this morning. I know small things make me happy. Though the real reason was because I needed to tidy it up before Christmas. I made Tarnyia's Granddad's Ice cream Recipe this morning. Tarnyia assures me it is calorie free. I sure hope so because I have just made two lots of it. Licking out 4 cream cartons,2 condensed milk cans plus a few nuts and choc chips and some fresh blueberries. I can assure you it tastes delicious. I didn't have any brandy so I used some of real vanilla essence for flavouring. Thanks Tarnyia for the recipe.
I would love to hear what is making you "Happy this Monday."
Happy Monday.

That is certainly a happy Monday for you, even with the small precious moments that might only be special to you!
Love your 'heritage' rose. Such a soft color and I can see it loves the rain drops.
What a beautiful rose Bev...glad that you've had some rain. The ice-cream sounds delish!
Merry Christmas Bev!!
Cheers....Jane.

Isn't it lovley to have nice steady rain. It had been trying to rain here for days and finally this afternoon it did and still is.
The flooding in Carnavan is awful also Tarniya's place did not look good on her blog.Hope she did not flood.
Oh the cross stitch looks brilliant!
Ahh a new Miss read book - thanks for heads up have to try & get it out. Catherine's Gift looks an eye opener.

Lk is looking great, Bev.
I like Maeve Binchy too but the other author you mentioned is new to me too.
Wish you and your family a Happy Christmas.
I think that ice cream would make me happy today! I adore Lizzy Kate's sweet stitching designs. I started my holiday shopping today, which wasn't fun, but I'm happy it's almost done.
Very pleased to hear that you have had some rain. Glad it wasn't the floods of Carnarvon. Enjoy the garden.
Hi Bev, Yes the sound of the rain was wonderful to hear!! All our rainwater tanks are full, yay. I'm so going to read Catherine's gifts, books like that always leave you thinking how lucky you really are. Kind regards, Anita.
A lovely Monday post again Bev. Happy little thoughts and things. The rose is beautiful. Can't imagine we will ever see roses again in this part of the world....LOL.
My Monday was rather daring driving to the supermarkets to get some groceries. We have had about 30 cm of snow now and we are in for some more. But I was happy I made it without any problems.
hahaha have been trying to post for days here but my internet has slowed down... 2 lots of ice-cream wait until I tell my kids hehehehe...
Wow Bev you are going great guns with your cross stitch...I haven't even pulled mine out yet!!! What a very happy Monday you have had...love that beautiful rose...Dzintra♥x
Reading you Happy Monday posts always make me happy, Bev. Love rose is lovely. I've just made some sweets for Christmas, luckily the grandkids were here to lick the bowl for me, but how will I resist having a taste test of the goodies?
