Bright Spots In My Day


Things that are making me smile today:
  • Lilac buds outside my window.
  • Dirt under my fingernails.  (Even if a brick and my fingernail had a disagreement.)
  • Temps in the 60s.
  • A rapidly-disappearing list of Spring garden chores.
  • Sunshine beaming into the bedroom.
  • Fresh compost for the roses and peonies.
  • Green grass.
  • Photos of my grand-niece in the dog crate when I was babysitting her three years ago.
  • Winsor & Newton paints and Canson Watercolor paper.
  • Giraffe spots.
  • Pepperjack cheese, Dave's Killer Bread and pickles.
  • Cookie dough.
  • My gorgeous, sexy husband.
  • Making a list of forty-five things I love about him. (Guess which anniversary is coming up?)
  • The Sultans of Swing sung by a Frenchman.
  • Putting flower shams on sofa cushions.
  • Storing the fall/winter area rug.
