Random Happy Things

I'll start my post of random things that are making me happy lately with this soundtrack music that I've been playing non-stop, so you can click on it and listen too while you read this post (isn't that thoughtful of me?)



I'm a Masterpiece fan on facebook, and it surprises me when they put their updates how many people say they don't want to waste their time on contemporary drama, they just want "more bonnets." I love the classics just as much as the next person, but they have got some fantastic contemporary pieces, such as this one from last night. If you're interested at all in some fairly recent South African history and the apartheid struggle, this was gripping. Excellent acting. It's available for awhile to watch online if you missed it.


This is what I can see outside my kitchen window. I'm not good with a camera like Julie Kittredge or Alysa are, but even I can't mess up these gorgeous colors.


Here's a close-up of my little curly willow tree. The fact that I have a tree with curly hair makes me super happy.


And here's a close-up of the maple. Amazing color--not altogether red or gold or orange--a mixture of all...a sunset color.


These ponytails are making me happy...


As are these vintage signs I just picked up from TJMaxx to go in my kitchen...


...especially this one...


...since it matches this one that I already have, which I got on ebay a few years ago--how cool and random...


And last, but certainly not least, this plate of pumpkin scones still warm from the oven. Darren said, "What mix are you using?" Excuse me? I made these completely from scratch. And do you like my photographic styling job?


So, lovely music, well-done small screen drama, breathtaking nature, new kitchen decorations, ponytails, and warm scones. That's what I call a pretty good day.
