What are the little things that make you happy? *part three moved

[joy]

I am happy that even tho they do not get along, hubby and I have a picture of both kids with their kids together with us for a family portrait.

My friend P**** who lost W*****, the last to join our group and they had a portrait of their 5 kids and grands and some step tho they aren't treated any different. With such a large group even an 11x14 they were not able to get a close up. That picture impressed me greatly. And W... passed on and now there are more grandkids so Peggy wil never have a full portrait again. I don't know what hubby said to get one of ours to decide to come to portrait day at fire department but he did and now I have beuautiful pics for the effort. Yay, makes me happy.

We had a relaxing time watching our daughter (on spring break) with her friend and her kid who is also grandchilds friend. Last year was the best friend who was killed so having her find another good friend is no small thing and gives me much to be thankful. And this woman is a good person that her husband is part of business they are in. (some have been less than what you would hope for,eeks not a prudish person but you'd have to know some from the past) Their laughter and giggles made pappy and I feel better just watching. Sunshine sure helped as well.

New flowers blossiming everywhere and I picked up rocks, shells anddriftwood to bring home. treasures to me and back home to laundry. back to normal but with a lighter heart.

happy we finally got some spring weather here. I have a bench where I can soak up sun & my dog & cat join me.

happy I have some bright annuals to look at finally. and I got stock & carnations which smell heavenly at night.

happy I can move today after all the gardening I did yesterday.

happy I watched the last of the Master's on Sunday & got to see Bubba win after his very lucky shot from the woods!go USA!

[joy]

It is back to cold weather here. At least we still have abundant sunshine . Donna made it over Thursday night and we painted gourds for bird houses. Finally something that was fast, easy and we both had a good time. just need to find parts of things needed to cut out holes for openings for the birds.

I do have a family living in the one granddaughter made and I hung outside. I can't see well enough to find out if it is the blue birds that I saw checking it out. I won't be sticking my hands inside because don't want to alarm residents and it is way up high. Wish I had a lot more gourds but at $5. apiece, not going to happen.

Nathan, my little finch makes me so very happy! He is so tiny, yet packe with personality and is so sweet and funny. He waits impatiently in the morning for me to got his little dish filled with fresh water for his bath (scolds if I'm too slow). And he takes 2 or 3 baths a day, splashing happily away.

[joy]

Oh I enjoyed reading that. I pictured that little bird taking his bath and splashing, LOL. Birds are fun to watch aren't they? I finall took more seed outside yesterday. And yes I do have a family living in the ghourd that I hung up outside. i am not going to touch it tho. It is really high up there and I daresay even with a ladder I'd fall trying to take a peek. So they will have peace from me at least. Wish I had a camera that was pointed at them but alas, that means money, don't have it for that. take care

i Also had the birds taking baths in the bird bath. I love watching them too.

I love listening to the birds sing in the morning.

I love a clean house. (when i clean and not be on the computer)

I loved that I got to spend time with my youngest daughter on wednesday.

happy to see some critter's most everyday. bunnies,deer,and alos of birds.

even one of the Manx cats came across the yard again.

happy to see my flower seeds growing.

very happy to know the roof will be done (soon I hope) over the patio now that the concrete exstention is done!

soon I can get the birdbath set up again & move all my stuff back-then relax.

[joy]

I haven't noticed the blue birdas at the gourd house lately. I need to look up and see how long it takes to raise a family. They may have all flown away. I did see the male with things in his mouth. I'd have to take it down to see and hate disturbing them in case I have just missed them.

I also have several many more gourds and Donna and I have been painting them. I have a little wren that I have plans for her gourd house as soon as I can find the drill bits to make hole in bottom for a drain.

Now I just need to put clean water in my bird bath and see if they will actually use it. So far they didn't and it has just causht the extra seeds that fall from feeders. That is a job clening it out but it is only place for the heavy thing to sit as hubby has bricks under it to make it level. Oh well, maybe they won;'t be picky if I just fill it up enough with clean water more often.

not much to say

[joy]

clouds it is still nice to see even a few words from you. - it lets us know you are still with us. and that probably nothing terribly wrong or bad is going on or you would have said so. in todays' world, that is a good thing in itself, to me anyway
