Oh so that’s what I put in that planter! I love fake spring in the PNW.

Finally, some good news.

Baking days with friends make me happy. Today was all about choux: Sweet buns filled with espresso pastry cream and topped with chocolate craquelin, and savory gougeres with Gruyère. Yum.

It’s pretty cool to have a rock star girlfriend who writes very sexy songs.

I just learned how to mute topics here and my feed is so much happier for it. Whew.

I sure hope this list gets a lot longer. And will be contacting some companies (like Alaska Airlines) to encourage them to join.

This sunny day brings all the birds to my yard - including this frenzied flock of bushtits. So tiny, so fierce. I love them. #birds #birdwatching

Today I feel mostly heartbroken about the state of the country but I’m finding a nugget of happiness wearing this sweater that belonged to my daddy. He passed away half my life ago but he feels close by with this on.

Just a baby picture from when my boys still liked each other. That's all I got today. Please enjoy.

Birdwatching with shoulder cat makes me happy. Him too. #cats #shouldercats #happiness

I am so happy that I have finally mastered pie crust. Homemade individual pot pies made the whole family happy. Nom nom.

It makes me happy when my Bird Buddy gets a shot like this happy towhee with a mealworm smile.

Baking makes me happy. This is Finnish pulla for my gf’s bday. She pronounced it delicious. #masterbaker #happiness #pulla

In general, I am not a fan of holiday music. I cringe the first time I hear it in retail stores and waiting rooms. But there is one Xmas-related song that makes me happy: youtu.be/x6zypc_LhnM?... I dare you to not hum it the rest of the day.

I did not do 108 Sun salutations on the Solstice this year but I did 54 the day before and 54 the day after and I think that should count. In any case, yoga makes me happy. Happy Solstice!

It makes me happy when friends ask me to bake something for them to give as a gift. Baking is my love language so I’ll almost never say no. And it balances out my asking friends who draw or make pottery to make things for me to give as gifts. It all balances out. #happiness

This bad boy will let us charge our devices and run small appliances the next time the power goes out. Which, judging by the winds we are having, could be any time now. Thanks, Anker!

Well they aren’t exactly cuddling but it makes me happy that these two piles of grey floof are coexisting peaceably. #cats #happiness #catmom

This little bub, living his best life in a sunbeam on mama’s lap. Happiness personified. Cat-ified? #cats #catmom #happiness

Hand made gifts from friends make me very happy.

It makes me happy every time I hear the little “thunk” as my chonky squirrel friend helps itself to another nut.

Makes me happy that “the crack of dawn” is at the civilized hour of 7:15 so I can catch this gorgeousness without even getting up super early.

Been pondering how to use this new (to me) platform. Feed curated to cute animal pix plus some science: check! As for what to post…I’m gonna try posting one thing per day that makes me happy. Relentless positivity to battle the existential ennui.
