The funny antics of our pets: They always make us laugh and having them around makes me happy.
The local wildlife: Watching possums and pademelons in the garden at night or seeing a Fairy Wren, hopping around in the garden. We are very fortunate to live where there is lots of wildlife even if they do keep eating our plants.
Flowers: It always makes me happy to have flowers around. Naomi bought a big bunch of Dahlia’s home from the market last week. They really brightened up the room. I love watching for the bulbs we plant every autumn to start coming up and I love it when they bloom in spring. I also love my roses. I’ve had such a hard time with them that any sign of new growth and flowers is cause for celebration.
Photography: I photograph my dolls and everyday items for our blogs but what I love most is being able to go out for the day with the camera and capture something interesting.
Funny conversations with Naomi: We find a lot of things to laugh about. Reminiscences, things that happened during our day, especially if we haven’t seen each other all day, old jokes and silly ideas.
I could think of a lot more everyday things. Reading a good book, talking to visitors at the Information Centre where I volunteer every week, the taste of a good cup of coffee, ice cream, a beautiful sunrise or sunset. I can’t rank these things but they are all special.
