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.
