No matter what mood I may be feeling, no matter what circumstances present themselves, there is always something to be happy about--whether it be a memory or an experience.
Some Things That Make Me Smile:
- the way the light dances on the amber leaves of a Japanese maple in the wind
- the fervent and boisterous song of the very small, yet stalwart, Carolina wren
- my husband's attempts to make me laugh which are usually successful
- the way my cats curl up in a circle, tilt their heads under, and stretch their toes out
- the first blushing of a full tomato on the vine in the vegetable garden
- the fragrance of Carolina Jessamine blooms as I walk by them over and over again
- the cottony and fluffy texture of Lamb's Ears between my thumb and forefinger
What makes you smile?

Thank you, Mindy. Spring has so many nice surprises.
DeleteMichelle I didn't realise you had another blog! I totally agree with you on the lambs ear - a childhood memory that I just had to pass on to my own children aswell.
ReplyDeleteRosie, this is another blog that I began a few years ago but just recently became more active on it. Lamb's ears are a favorite in my garden.
DeleteWhat a great list and a great photo as well! Thanks so much for joining us in the Leap Into Spring Photo Challenge! Next week's theme will be Easter/eggs. Can't wait to see what you come up with! Have a great weekend and a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kristi. And thank you for your very nice email welcome.
DeleteBeing with family makes me smile. I love a ripen tomato too. There's nothing like home grown tomatoes. A good cup of coffee makes me smile. And your two blogs make me smile. I am so glad to have found them.
