It is one of those days when my heart is singing for no particular reason, and where everything that I see seems to have a little extra sparkle to it. It is all little bits of sunshine to me, and I’m soaking it all up while I can. I wanted to share a little of it with you today, too.

+ The brightest blue of blue birds singing his little heart out before the sun came up and a cardinal to sing as it went down again.

+ A new book in the mail, and a flurry of last minute excitement and preparation for March of Books in a few days! (Seriously, I am so excited about this right now!)

+ Catching a glimpse of a hint of green to the branches of some of the trees and a touch of redbud just about to blossom

+ Daffodils still looking like ever so many drops of sunshine in the wood.

+ Fresh towels and fresh sheets and clean dishes—all put away.

+ Pineapple Muffins.

+ Writing real letters and walking in the sunshine to mail them.

+ Reading books and snuggling under fuzzy blankets with my niece who is growing up so very fast.

+ Turning on the christmas lights on the porch one last time, just because she wanted to see the “pretty tree”.

+ The smell of spring in the air, and the sound of a garden-in-progress. I just wish it was mine!

+ Calls from my sweetheart who is working rather late this week again. Just to say hi. <3

+ Chats with two of my sisters and an email from my far away little sis, over in the Philippines.

+ Ice tea, and a day warm enough to enjoy it.

+ Tiny bare feet next to mine, asking for sparkles on her toes, too.

+ Stars in a dark sky. They always remind me of hope.

+ Homemade chili. It tasted scrumptious!

+ Spring cleaning lists.

+ Settling down into a pile of pillows to read the last few hours of the night away while I wait for Scott to return.

+ This pretty picture taken by a friend. It is breathtakingly beautiful and makes me think of happy days and memories.

Yes, it has definitely been a good day. What are some of your little moments from today?
