Five things that made me happy today:

1. I discovered that a BEE is doing this to my red bud trees. My two sweet red bud trees that were the size of pencils when I planted them this spring have turned into legit works of art.

2. Ruby texted me moment by moment this morning as her school bus took an extended route to pick up a new family. She thought she was being kidnapped. I thought she was her mom, reincarnate. (See new hair below.)

3.A few more episodes of Downton Abbey and some puzzle time = a very mellow MarySue by 3 pm or so.

4. The tiniest Texas anole I have ever seen on the front porch this afternoon. About as long as a toothpick and too quick for a photo.

5. An amazing amount of things moved, sorted, recycled, re-arranged, in the house. I think it’s the moon. Which, BTW, looked like another planet ready to set when I left the house this morning.

I’d love to hear what made you happy today. Always.

Keep going.
