It's the Little Things That Make Me Happy!

That's for sure! I don't need lots of bells and whistles to put a smile on my face. Little things that people may think are dull and mundane--well, I can find the joy! We've been busy around here as I've said in my last post. Between school wrapping up shortly, Brownies coming to an end for the school year, exams, and gardening...oh, and a couple parties and bbqs..we've been on the go. But I love that it is a happy busy. The garden is almost in full bloom too!

I have picked a huge bowl of strawberries! Yummy! My peonys are opening:

The porch is bursting with color up front!

As soon as you open any of the three exits from my house, you smell LILACS!

I have lilacs in the front and rear. Beautiful and fluffy!

So, back to the title of this post,  as to one of those little things that make me happy..have you seen the square marshmallows for s'mores?????

Smoremallows they are called! :)  Love them! Why didn't they think of this before! 

We tried them out last weekend and they were just dandy. They fit perfectly on top of the graham cracker! S'mores Success! Smiles! Wish my son would let me photograph him :(  

My son and husband have decided their outdoor rec room will be in the shed....My son wants to decorate it with metal signs and oldie stuff. 

Dare I call it a man cave? 

Caitlin got a new bicycle last Saturday! It's a beauty. We bought it from our local bicycle store happily avoiding the big box store for the purchase. The bike store has been in business for 70 years selling thousands and thousands of bicycles to people in Northport and Commack. You just can't beat that old fashioned personal attention plus his old fashioned store. While I was bike shopping, it was 1955 in my mind! We had to order Caitlin's bike as she is too tall for the kid size bike but too small for a full size. My baby is growing but not too fast...Lets keep it that way. S-L-O-W... She's adjusting to her new ride. Her only demand was that the bike have a basket.

Field Day was Tuesday!

Caitlin competed in the frisbee relay, the 6x50 race, a jumping challenge and an egg on a spoon race. She did great! It was a beautiful day! 4th grade is just around the corner. 

Oh and here is Miss Molly Moo!

Doesn't she look like a cow? I mean that in the nicest of terms. When I adopted her  I named her Miss Molly Moo Moo because I think her markings are just like a cow. Here's the proof! Oh Miss Moo Moo! You are so cute. 

Last garden shot for today! ROSES! ROSES!ROSES! 

And my pretty hanging plant for the shed!

I hope you have a beautiful Saturday! It's picture perfect weather today here on Long Island! 

Go outside and have fun!
