HAPPY MOMENTS #1

Who would have thought a quarantine would be keeping me busy. With reading blogs and emails and a few phone calls, sprinkled with house work... it filled parts of the day. The submissions started coming in this morning already. And this first batch did indeed make me happy!!!! Keep sending in those things that make you happy at mistressborghese@yahoo.com.

Things that made people happy......

Her beautfiul knitting of a blanket
Miss Nyla watching the birds.
Her spouse's home grown tomatoes.
 Lunch with fellow blogger Travel Penguin and his hubby Jay

  8. Not surprised the streets are empty, that's a good thing, in a way. The animals are beautiful, and so are the flowers you shared in this post! :)

    4. I remember when I dated a bear once...it was actually very warm, and safe feeling being cuddle by him and his extra baggage, I can't lie.

  13. It's like a pussy cat reunion! Great pictures. Pretty cool to see pictures from other cities too. I was working but now even I am now shut down. I still take a morning walk to exercise my fat ass. It's is sort of cool but spooky to see Philly empty, much like other cities I see.

    1. I am out in the burbs, empress (plymouth meeting area). traffic on my street (a connector busy road) has dropped off considerably. today is SUCH a gorgeous day to be outside!

    2. I was outside myself sitting a spell with a nice cold beer. It is truly glorious today!

  14. All of these make me happy. I seem to have lost all of my pictures in the great computer overhaul of November 2019. It will take someone with a lot more skill than me (say a 5 year old maybe) to get it back. Oh, well. One that always makes me smile is one of grubby me wearing the knit hat and scarf that Anne Marie crafted for me. Her artwork always makes me smile.
