A Nice Day Out

 

If I had wings or a hot-air balloon
I would fly up high all the way to the moon;
I would sit on the moon, so happy and tall
and everyone else will seem really small.


I didn't go as far as the moon this time
but I did have a nice day out

What do you need the moon for when you have so many beautiful things to see and taste right here on Earth? :)
It seems like a perfect, sunny day one wishes to have once in a while!

Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars. . .oh, sorry Amalia. I got carried away. tee hee. Every time you share a day out post I want to come there and eat out with you. My goodness that food looks am-A-zing! We have goats like those in the countryside here. I love to watch them. The sky is so blue and the flowers are lovely. I'd say you had a very nice day out. Hugs, Nancy

September Violets said...

You always see the most interesting things. Like that checkerboard table with cup holders. And the loaves of bread stacked up like a campfire. And goats! I love goats and had a couple when I was young.

Kim said...

Oh how I love going on a stroll with you, Amali, experiencing the visual delights of your little corner of the world. More lovely photos.

Borgmästaren said...

It sure looks lika a lovely day! Wish I could have some of it. The snow is falling heavily and has done for a few days. I am getting really good at drivning our snowblower, since my husband has had an operation (nothing seroius but it left him indisposed to drive the blasting thing right in the middle of Febraury whjen we normally get most of the snow.)

Vintage Jane said...

What lovely photos. I am longing to feel the warmth of the sun again. M x

susan said...

What a perfect day, Amalia! I would love to taste that pizza and Italian bread - everything looks delicious!

Thank you for sharing your day out with us. It does look nice. Food looks good! Very cute cupcakes wrappers. Signs of spring at your area too. I'm in southern Alabama in the United States so we are seeing all kinds of spring with daffodils, flowering quince and tulip trees blooming. I need to do some pics on my blog.
Thanks for your visit. I am warmed that you stopped by.

The grass is greener... on the moon?

handmade by amalia said...

I'll admit that I didn't pet the goats. I have to be introduced to an animal before showering them with attention.

handmade by amalia said...

I liked that as well! It calls to you to sit down and play.

handmade by amalia said...

Thank you for this, Gracie. I love it!

handmade by amalia said...

I know! My oatmeal looked pretty ordinary the next day :-)

handmade by amalia said...

I hope I can come with you! The wind will take us where it may and we'll have a picnic after.

handmade by amalia said...

I'm not a fan of rust in real life but it does photograph well :-)
