Happy Stuff

Hey guys!  Now it's time for a catch-up on the happy stuff from the past 2 months.  So, mainly a lot of flowers and birds and Guinness.  Oh, and at the very bottom of this post I will let you in on a little idea that I had for this coming weekend that I thought would be fun for me and Kevin, so you might think it'd be a fun idea for you too!!  Or, you might think we're lame... It could go either way!  You'll just have to wait and see...

Happy Stuff:  Flowers!  It has been hydrangea season in our neighborhood, and I loooove hydrangeas!  My favorite flowers BY FAR are daffodils, but hydrangeas are definitely #2.  Some of our neighbors have some beautiful hydrangeas!  I really love looking at them on my walks with Guinness.  Here are some pictures from our neighborhood over the past few months:

Happy Stuff:  Birds!  We have still been enjoying our bird feeder and checking out all of the cool birds, and we've also seen some birds around our yard and I saw a pretty eggshell while I was on a walk with Guinness! 

That's an eggshell!  It was so bright blue!  And it was in the middle of the street. 

 

Happy Stuff:  Miscellaneous Nature!  We have a lot of deer that hang out in our neighborhood, but something that is way more elusive in our neighborhood are foxes! We've seen them a handful of times, but over the weekend Kevin and I saw one and were able to get a decent picture of it!  

Happy Stuff:  Guinness!  Guinness has continued to be a source of happiness and comfort for us during these crazy times.  We take him for at least one walk per day, and he's become a champion napper.  We have realized that Guinness LOVES a pillow when he naps!  He loves to create a pillow out of a blanket (he'll drag the blanket around), or use the side of his dog bed as a pillow... He'll get creative, but he loves to prop his head up.  He's a fancy pup!  

This one cracks me up!  His mouth was open while he was sleeping

Throw pillows!  He looooves a pillow.

Happy Stuff:  My idea for this coming weekend!!  So, I had this idea that I thought could be fun, because I don't know about you but I have been needing some uplifting entertainment to get my mind off of everything going on and to de-stress on the weekends.  So, because of that... I have been craving CHRISTMAS MOVIES.  Christmas is a loooong ways away, but then I remembered that people totally do Christmas in July!!  That's a thing!!  So, next weekend, Kevin and I are going to do Christmas in July and watch a bunch of Christmas movies all weekend.  We aren't going to do anything else Christmas-y (we aren't decorating or anything... that sounds exhausting), but some Christmas movies sound pretty darn happy and uplifting.  There are a bunch available on Disney+ (they have Miracle on 34th Street, Muppets Christmas Carol, Mickey's Christmas Carol, Nightmare Before Christmas, and others!), and Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu also have some!  So, just an idea I thought I'd pass along in case you think it'd be fun and bring you happiness!  

I hope you all are doing really well!!  These are crazy stressful times, and they've been crazy stressful times for a LONG time now, so make sure to take time to be good to yourself!  Love you all!!
