10 Ridiculously Little Things That Make Me Smile



1. Watching an entire storm move through while out on the porch  
2. Drinking margaritas in the pool on a 100 degree day 
3. Finding the perfect antique picture frame for the perfect modern photo
4. Filling the house with jars of freshly-cut Queen Anne's Lace 
5. The pair of mini horses I pass on my way to work (borderline obsession here)
6. Hearing about my friend's absurd dates
7. The fat grounhogs (aka whistlepigs) who sneak into our yard and steal veggies
8. A super-clean kitchen with super organized spices 
9. A goofball guy who likes to get up and dance and sing early in the morning
10. Farm stands with warm peaches, alien heirloom tomatoes, bundles of dahlias, and yellow plums

How about you?
