Happy Things

Here are a few things that have made me happy of late:
 
I don't mind a dusting of snow when it makes things look pretty.
 
 
Plus, the dark-eyed juncos come back in the winter.
 
 
It's not spring yet, but look! Things are blooming in my house! 

A peace plant from a friend.
 

 
A very showy amaryllis from my cousin.
 


I inherited this violet from my mother. She had plants that were over thirty years old, but I think this one is just pushing fifteen.
 
 
It had a baby last year which I rooted and now it's blooming as well!
 
 
I have an office!
When Mom moved in we converted a big closet downstairs into a room for Three. We just moved him back upstairs so I claimed the closet. I basically took a bunch of girly things and put them all in one room. 
 
 
Plus a bed for Erin when she comes to stay.
 
 
I only need a table to type.
 
 
And a door. Which I have marked appropriately.
 

We'll see if it manages to keep tough guys like these Brooklyn Nets fans out of my space.
 

My aunt sent me this picture.
 
  
I think I'm about 20.
I hung it on the fridge and the boys' comments have been priceless. They don't understand why their father, who looked like this at the time,
 
 
ever dated me. We're not sure either, but it's made me happiest of all. 
 
What's making you smile?
