Points of Joy

My friend, Susannah, is an incredibly creative person. On her blog, Good but Hard, she has published a few entries entitled, "Points of Joy." In other words, what makes you happy? Here are the things that made me happy yesterday. Play along on your blog if you like too.

1. G doing "hard work" in the garage with his Dad.
2. The sound and feel of the heater in the morning, signaling the change of seasons from summer to fall.
3. My husband resuming work on the pizza oven in our backyard.
   
4. A full bird feeder, sans the squirrel.
5. The flowers blooming in our front yard.
6. My computer and my quiet house first thing in the morning.
7. Going to the grocery store by myself and not listening to either a children's CD or DVD. Instead, blaring the radio to my very "street" music and singing at the top of my lungs.
8. Toffee crunch caramel cheesecake
9. L learning how to pull herself up in her crib and being tremendously pleased with herself.
10. Freshly cut grass.
11. The smell of tomatoes from my husband's garden roasting in the oven.
12. My husband and G making pasta together.
13. The fruits of their labor.
