If it makes me happy...



This is the first year are magnolia has really showcased its beauty. Usually, it blooms for a day, frost hits, and we are stuck with a horrible, brown, rotting mess of petals. This year we have been mercifully spared from this and the magnolia is flourishing! It also makes me happy watching the people walk our sidewalk, pause, look around to see if anyone is watching, then sneak across our lawn to stop and smell the blossoms. You'll notice a soft hazing on the picture courtesy of a small child's fingerprint. Sigh.



And other thing that is making me happy today is a hanging out a load of laundry and having all the socks match!! Yes, small things amuse small minds. Nevertheless, I take pleasure in this little thing.
