Smile

I feel like sometimes I let myself get down and not focus on the good things in life.  So this post is dedicated to all things that make me smile...

(Apologies in advance for some poor picture quality, but they all came from the cell phone camera)

This AWESOME hydrangea I found at a local florist shop (I made sure I could plant it in DC)

My iris' in the backyard are still kicking!  They have endured heat, freezing temps, 70 mph gusts of wind, flooding...and Charlotte.

These babies have lasted over a month on nothing but neglect.  They look fake, so I forget to water them :)

Look real close and you can see some cream color blooms!  I have been waiting almost 1 year to find out "what the heck kind of flower is growing on my arbor". 

Roses are starting to bloom in the backyard. 

Yet another awesome plant from the same local florist

And you thought all that made me smile today was plants...

For 10 years, this girl drove a gas guzzling SUV.  This is a sight that will bring tears of joy to my eyes!  My hybrid SUV (a little more than 1/2 full) and only 200 miles on the tank.  (the old 4runner would go 200...and you'd be running on vapors if you let it go any further without a fillup!)

And the best for last

Nothing makes me smile more than a puppy with a mohawk!
