The Joy in Small Things

A while ago, I wrote a post about finding the blue button of happiness.  It's an old post, but one of my favorites -- if you want to read it, you can check it out here.

In this time of social distancing and worry about the COVID-19 pandemic, you may have to look harder for things that make you happy, but they are still out there. 
Sometimes, they can be really small things that you might normally overlook.  
​
Like tiny wildflowers. 

Some people might call them weeds, but I was delighted to see that our backyard had tons of tiny surprises this spring (beyond the daffodils, but I planted them so they weren't a true a surprise).   With the help of a macro lens,  I was able to see how beautiful these really are.  I hope you enjoy them, too!

These cute Johnny Jump-ups are volunteers! They made it through some tough conditions, including being in a totally dry planter box for 6 months. I always marvel at the resilience of plants. :)
