Small things that make you feel happy

My two youngest gd,s going home with a large jar full of nasturtium leaves and caterpillars…they were so exited you,d think I,d handed them the moon.
The six year old loves all kinds of bugs and knows more about them than me so I was stumped when she wanted to know what colour the butterflies would be ,thankfully a white butterfly flew past her as they were going home and she decided it was the mother of the eggs that made the caterpillars….coming to say goodbye.
They brighten my days and always make me smile .

Seeing a group of young starlings this afternoon splashing about in the tray of water that I recently put out in my garden to help the local birds through the hot, dry weather.

A truly little thing: i found the contact lens that I thought was gone!

Window not wind!

It’s a lovely evening and the view out of my bedroom wind is to die for.

Fixing the catches on the bedroom and bathroom doors so that
a) they don't blow open when it's windy and
b) the cats can't push them open.

Drinking a hot cup of tea without having to microwave it because I forgot it.

The surgery letting me know that my routine blood test and urine test showed nothing to worry about (e.g. diabetes, high cholesterol etc) even though I am a chocoholic!

Our new neighbours appearing to be very nice people, although really maybe that counts as a big thing!

Hi Oreo. Can I ask where you found this? I believe that dark chocolate Bountys have been discontinued, but I'd love to buy some of they are in stock anywhere.

We did have some rain here last night - enough to leave puddles on garage roofs, but MUCH more needed. But the fresh smell in the garden this morning did make me happy.

6 am every day, I go out in my dressing gown with the dog to breathe in/sniff the new day .

Being told earlier by the podiatrist I don’t have a fungal infection on my foot 🙂

waking up each morning

A bumble bee on the flower outside my front door as I left home to attend a charity lunch.

A quiet day
The Sunday papers
A custard tart now and then
Clean sheets

Watching ducks waddling about in the park, one stood on my feet 😃

Finding a dark chocolate Bounty Bar in a shop😋

Recently, the rain coming on for the birds and plants.
My DD's mood being improved through an enjoyable pastime.
Managing a difficult yoga pose well.
DH surviving his third cancer.
My young GKids with their comments, their achievements and their play.
Our dog, defying the vet and living happily and well past the 4 - 6 weeks that was declared.
So far, today, blackcurrant jam, my first coffee of the day and the fact that our dog is still here to love us all.

Sitting in the garden with this morning with a cup of tea , listening to the birds and loving the smell of the garden after the rain . It wasn’t much but the air was much fresher .

Macaydia

I am thankful for porridge

Yes, a woman after my own heart.🙃

Seeing the heavy down poor this morning.
Not too happy when I got into my car thought, absolutely flooded on the drivers side with rain water 😀

Going out for lunch with my caring, loving, DH. My best friend in the world world. (We've been together for over forty years.). I feel very blessed.

My sister, who is currently walking the length of Offa's Dyke, sending me a photo of the beautiful view from her tent.

The female red kite, who has been spending hours a day whistling in the ash tree right behind my garden, has recently been joined by a male. It would be wonderful if they nested next spring.

Petra I agree re: The Morning Show, completely hooked. I can see why you'd watch it twice

I moved a garden pot yesterday and a wee frog hopped out from under it . I was thrilled that he'd chosen my garden to live in !

Lots of little things but today’s was a message from one of my DDs after I had done a small favour for her.
“Mum, you are amazing!.. Love you so much” xx
