Celebrating the Little Things

I'm so excited.  I have one tiny tomato.  It's about the size of a Jelly Belly, but it's there.  Most of the other plants have buds, so maybe the one tiny tomato will have friends soon.

Last night, while I was out back smoking, I saw a ton of fireflies.  I love fireflies and would much rather watch those than fireworks.  Anyway... one in particular was stationary.  It just sat in a cedar tree occasionally lighting up.  For some reason, seeing it made me happy.  

I spelled stationary right.

Sunday, I made a layer cake from scratch.  It's pretty dense, but it's super moist and yummy, so yay.

Someone bought a copy of FERTILE GROUND yesterday.

I lost a pound.

My WIP is up to 15488 words.

Several of my redbud trees are thriving.  They're about 6-8 inches tall and getting new leaves.

We watched a Sherlock Holmes movie from 1942 that we'd never seen before.  It was pretty good.  (Naturally. Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce are almost a guaranteed good watch.)

Those are my little things right now.  Sometimes I have to look for them, sometimes they pop right up, but they're always there.  What little things do you have to celebrate today?

  1. Little things are important and those are all special "wins"! Yay! We used to have a lot of fireflies but not so much now. I miss them. Okay...small things that have made me happy lately...

    One of my giant phoxes bloomed. It's purply-lavender and I can see it from my office window.

    The "beep-da-beep" bird is back. I've never been able to identify what kind of bird but he sounds happy.

    A male cardninal has been checking out the birdfeeder. He's bright and shiny and always catches my eye.

    I have coffee. And Swiss Miss. Easy mocha coffee. Yum.

    I have my blog done for the week but for Friday.

    Not much but then I'm not out and about or doing much. And that's okay. Which also makes me happy.

    Have a good one!
