With our walks quite short some days, I’m having to look around our suburban surroundings more and more to find a #photoaday. This was in my neighbor’s yard and matched the color in the evening sky very nicely.

Growth is good

This weeks photo challenge is to document growth. Personal growth, new plant growth, overgrowth… How to show growth when we are in an arctic freeze?!. Spring most often brings new plant growth. At the new year we do a lot of personal growth, or at least we say we are. Here’s to growing my bank account and not my waistline. May my plants grow to be fruitful and abundant.

I had lunch with some friends and the plant on the counter was so happy with it’s shiny new leaves.  The cherry blossoms and the tree are from an earlier spring.

I dug in the archives for this photo challenge. While we are freezing our tushies off, it’s a great time for some optimism and smiles.

Because I am always taking pictures of everything that catches my eye I had quite a few to chose from. I hope these make you giggle as much as they made me.  Each photo has a caption.  If you click on the images, you can see them larger.

Enjoy time with friends.

Happiness in bloom

I’ve barely had a moment to sit still and write the last week. My happiness campaign is in full swing and I’ve worn my fingers to the bone. I’m the head of our annual fundraising committee. They’ve been doing the same events year after year after year… Yawn.

Last year I suggested a snack cart, kinda like the mountain man if you are familiar with that, rolling through the office with chips, candy, juice, fruit… you name it.  Everything on the cart was $1. What?! No one is going to pay a dollar when they can walk to the cafeteria and get it for .75! The naysayers were put to shame. We made $1350!! Needless to say, the snack cart will be rolling again very soon.

This year I wanted to do more small fun things to spread joy across the department so I suggested flower pencils. Again… $1. Again… Naysayers. They have a little hang tag I designed with a frilly font for you to send a happy flower-gram to a coworker.  We SOLD OUT the first day. Made $125.

This is the backseat of my car full of flower pencils!

This is the special, all pink, breast cancer bouquet complete with pink ribbon pencils.


Since Monday I have spent every waking minute making more flower pencils. And we’ve had requests for pens so I’m making those too. Tomorrow is our site-wide fall festival and I’ve been frantically making flowers in hopes of selling out again. My poor little fingers are worn out, but well worth it.

I’ve signed up for Blogging 201, but I’ve not had a minute to do the work. I’ll get caught up in a few days. Spreading the love is way more rewarding at the moment!

Let the happiness reign!

Good Monday Morning to you all.  I have no wit or wisdom or tale of woe to share this morning.  I’m so tired I can barely focus.  I did get out for a lovely walk Sunday morning and caught a bunch of flowers getting a bath in the summer rain we had.

Have a good week y’all-

Watching my little desktop garden flourish makes me smile almost as much as my awesome view. Green makes anything better. Happy Friday!

Side note: this is my first full, actual post from the WordPress app. I hope this looks ok.
