and sweet friends
ReplyDeleteI could not begin to list the people I love that make me happy so I didn't even try. Maybe I will make another list.
DeleteThis is a wonderful list. I particularly approve of #2.
ReplyDeleteThought you might
DeleteA new snow fall
ReplyDeletethe Ol'Buzzard
Good one. I will add that to my next list, along with Jackie Sue's.
DeleteAhhh... I love meadowlarks, too - we don't have them in Calgary but I get my fix when I drive across the prairies. And I have to add... the smell of alfalfa.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the list - it made me smile!
You are welcome. Sometimes we need to force ourselves away from things that make us hate, fear or angry of which there has been no end lately. We can still smile.
DeleteI've always admired couples that were good together and stayed with each other for many years.
ReplyDeleteQueen Elizabeth and Prince Philip have just celebrated 69 years. That had to take some doing.
DeleteLove those silly jumpy bouncy babies!
ReplyDeleteAdd to the list... the smell of a newly manured field. Yes, manure. Not the nicest smell in the world, but it signifies growing, and continuity, and a new crop in the spring. I know, I'm crazy for liking that.
And those couples who stay together for 50, 60 years. Admirable, but how do they manage to survive it? I didn't!!!!!
Hah, I so wanted to put that I liked the smell of manure but thought people would deem me certifiable.
DeleteYes, I wonder how they stay together too.I often wonder how much was love and how much was simply endured for lack of an alternative. I wish all marriages could stay together for love.
