Things That Make Me Happy 11/1/09

1. Today is November 1st, and it was a fine day here in New England.

2. Daylight saving time allowed me to "fall back" and gain an extra hour today.

3. Number 2 was really good since I had a few appletini's last night and didn't get home until 1.  That doesn't really sound late, but I had a busy day and the drinks made me sleepy.  Don't worry, I didn't drink and drive, I walked.

4. My daughters' laughter!

5. My eldest daughter played in her first basketball game today.  Her team won... 31 to 14.  She was so excited.

6. Karl made delicious ribs and nutritious salad for dinner tonight.

7. There was a huge sundog in the sky as we were driving to the basketball game.  You could see all of the colors of the rainbow in it!

8. We went to a dog halloween parade today.  Yes, it's November 1st, but the dogs were all dressed in costume!  They were so cute.  The costumes were so creative and the dogs were so cute.  Our favorite was the evil swine - it tried attacking another dog.

9. The autumn leaves are still beautiful.  The yellows, browns and reds of the beech trees, the oaks (Connecticut has 10 different types of oak trees), sweetgums and the maples look magnificent when the light is just right.

10. The autumn light is magical against darkish skies.

Hugs!
