oranges and cream gelato. a new stack of books from the library. the song "jungle drum" by emiliana torrini. long conversations with friends and sisters. fresh tomatoes, mozzarella and basil. an orange gerbera daisy. clean sheets. kitty kisses for atlas. yummy yin yoga. a sandwich with dill pickle slices. blue skies. the neighbor kids clamoring to tell me their stories (and pet atlas). a blue jay. dodging spider webs while hiking downhill on the wildwood. balancing my checkbook. a small frog.
what makes you happy today?

sun. good morning smiles from my baby. quiet house. coffee. the thought of a beach day with the kids. remembering the buckets of blueberries i put in the fridge and freezer last night. and again, sun.

A very good day you're having, Elizabeth! Today I've been catching up with friends--real life and blog friends, playing with my camera in the garden, the sight of my cat sleeping always makes me smile, my cup of jasmine tea, an apple from our own tree for a snack--lovely, hubby & I making a homemade pizza last night--fun, off to do yoga myself... :o) Happy Week!

love this picture, and the prose following it.
today? dog park. ice-cream cones. a summer breeze. a new camper. that beeping noise finally stopped. a pooped pup. happy kids. no work. green tea. brownie.

the much needed rain, the discovery of a hidden black of chocolate in the cupboard, the sight of a clean vacuumed floor, kids not fighting and the drawing to the end of the day, sitting in bed blogging.
cute shot

I just turned on Jungle Drum and am listening to it while I read and write. It makes me happy, too. Thanks for sharing.
