sigh

I feel really happy. I am so excited for fall to arrive and am loving the cooler summer days that we are having right now. I love having a little time to just chill. There are always a million things I need/should do but just for right now, just for at least one more week, these heavy burdens don't feel like they weigh so much.
Some things that are making me smile...
I may have some new opportunities at work opening up. My fall semester looks intense but fabulous. My husband is delightful as ever and we get to celebrate our 5th anniversary this weekend. I got a lovely hand written letter from our dear couch surfer, Brett, that made my whole week. The bakery two doors down has started making pumpkin chocolate chip cookies that are spectacular and a sure sign that fall is on its way. A big sunflower just opened up in front of my dining room window. A beautiful hummingbird has been visiting the feeder I painstakingly fill for him and has done so just when I'm watching. And to top it all off, I've been listening to some excellent music that can't help but put you in a happy mood.
And because I want you to be happy too, here are a few lovely things I want to share.
First, the music...



Next, a journey in eye candy photos

We'll take this car
down this road

drive by this

and this

till we get here


Its a beautiful view out the front window. Look!


But inside is just as fabulous













You walk to through the house that apparently has lots of living rooms until you get to the bedroom

Suddenly you're confused because you hear



and then this guy enters the room


wait, no I meant this guy


See don't you feel happy? What a beautiful trip, right?

Smile, life is awesome!
