So my friend Erin over at Dropped Stitches was sweet enough to honor me with the Happy {101} Award! Wasn't that nice of her? I don't know if I've been given an award before...? So, I'm honored! Thank you, Erin.OK, so the idea behind the Happy Award is that I am supposed to share {10} things that make me happy. And then I'm supposed to share {10} blogs that I enjoy reading...so...here we go!
{10} happy things...
- rain. love it. any time. anywhere.
- coffee. preferably Starbuck's. and even better with a friend.
- spending a day with my mom. we have a really good time together...and we eat good food!
- long drives. preferably to somewhere new. and beautiful. and chilly!
- a weekend away with my husband. we buy new music, hop in the car and find a new place to visit and explore. it's always fun...and refreshing.
- hugs from my boys. my boys give great hugs. and they are so lovable. a hug from them can make all the troubles of the world disappear...especially when it's unsolicited!
- taking pictures. i got my camera for my birthday a few years ago...and I haven't been the same since. I love my camera...and the satisfaction of taking a decent picture.
- cupcakes. preferably yellow with chocolate or white frosting. an occasional pink cupcake with pink frosting is good, too. I'm not picky.
- chickens. in my backyard. fresh eggs. pecking and scratching in the sun. watching them makes me happy.
- handwritten mail. in this day and age a real letter through the real mail is a rare thing. so when I receive something in my little green mailbox it makes me smile.
And I'm sorry...I know it's kind of cheating...but I just can't choose {10} blogs. I want to choose them ALL....so if you are reading this...consider yourself a recipient of The Happy {101} Award and make a list of {10} things...it's nice to sit and think about the things that make you happy!

What a wonderful Happy list! I am going to do one for sure, it is always good to think about all the good things in life. :)
Love your happy list. My fave is "hugs from my boys", especially the unsolicited part. I feel the same way about my girls.
Great list! I must say that I agree with it all (I'm findin git amazing how much I have in common with the bloggers I chose to forward this award to - it's pretty cool!) Have a good day, my friend.
Happy to you too!
YOU make ME happy!!

I think every neighborhood should have a sign like this!
