My azalea. My mom bought this for me when I moved into my first apartment. It lived in a pot by my front door. I've managed to keep it all these years...in spite of the newspaper kid who always managed to get my neighbor's paper stuck in my azalea...in spite of the kiddos in my yard now who like to use clippers and don't know the difference between precious plants and weeds. My azalea is blooming right now. I can see her from my knitting chair. That profusion of hot pink makes me HAPPY.
I love the deep purple of these iris. These were in the yard when we moved here...so it's always a pleasant surprise when they bloom. 
I almost ripped this sedum out when we moved in...it was a little burnt on the edges of the leaves in August. But in February every year...look at these pretty little stars.
Look closer....Those little stars make me HAPPY.
And this was a MOPS craft that I wasn't able to finish during our table time (probably because I was nursing 2...not that she's still nursing...but this craft is probably 2 years old.) Anyways, I found this with all the supplies and partially put together. I added some scripture that I'm trying to memorize. And this makes me HAPPY.
We had a field trip on Wednesday. That made me HAPPY.
Now...what makes you HAPPY? Maybe this will turn into a little contest. But, I'll surprise you on that one. =0)

What wonderful reminders in your life.
What makes me happy? The crocusses blooming, friends, my boys, spinning, and good music.
You have a lot blooming in your yard right now! I love the frilly edges on your azalea. Lots of things make me happy. Right now I'd enjoy a nice warm day in my garden. :)
Oh, my dear friend..you are learning. I like your happy, and your flowers, of course. What makes me happy, is...my knitting, the solitude of the beach (and happy memories of life there "before"), and my gardens renewing themselves each spring. Only the strongest survive, just like me!
I love your azalea!! And your corner sink... the color red.. Red makes me happy. And bright sunshine, the beach, the smell of the ocean, the sound of the waves.
FH has already secured one of his friends' condos for some weekend getaways this summer. How thoughtful! I will definitely want to get my big pregnant self away from the heat!
What a beautiful post! It makes me happy to read it. All the gorgeous spring blooms make me happy. A weekend makes me happy. The smiles on my little guy's face make me happy. Friends in the knitting world like you most definitely make me happy!
