Have you ever came across something that, well... for whatever reason every time you looked at it it just made you happy? Sure you have, hopefully every day... and if you're really lucky (or shall I say blessed) it happens to you multiple times a day. Now- I'm not talking about the obvious things we love like family and friends... I'm talking about something different. Something not expected and unanticipated that simply makes your heart smile every time you get a glance of it.
That moment happened to me today. After photographing little bunnies in my front yard (Oh, those make me happy too!) I began walking back in the house. On the way in I took one last glance at my "Julia Child" rose bush tree and thought, "Wow, those flowers make me so happy." Yes. I realize we are talking about a flower here, but truly, that little tree makes me so darn happy. I can't quite figure it out. I don't think it's the normal "girl & flowers" thing. I mean, what girl doesn't love flowers, right? I don't know if it's the shape of the tree (a little trunk with a ball at the top full of blooms) or the color and shape of the roses (small, buttery yellow) or maybe even the sweet smell they exude... but whatever it is... it makes my heart smile. I've wanted these trees for a few years now but haven't really felt like splurging on one ($30 each, I of course ended up getting 2- oopsy). Finally, after getting my little cottage *almost* finished on the inside I was able to start on the outside. Finally... it was time :) All I know is that whatever it is about those flowers that make me happy, it 's worth every penny.
