Ten Things I’m Really In Love With This Week

1. The French market by my workplace, which had huge bunches of fresh green leaf lettuce for sale, for only a dollar each!—and yummy Jonagold apples for only 77 cents per pound!

2. The TV show “The Dog Whisperer.” That guy is a freakin’ genius.

3. The book “On the Road,” which I’ve just started to read. What an amazing trip…

4. The fact that the AVERAGE high temperature here is now almost 50 degrees—no more 20’s and 30’s for us!

5. Iwanski’s Grandma doing well after emergency hernia surgery.

6. The Talking Heads song “Once in a Lifetime.”

7. Taking photos on my daily walk to work.

8. Pigeons and ducks obviously trying to get it on, right out in the open, in public!

9. My husband and his silly sense of humor, even when he’s not feeling particularly funny. (Today he told me that he was feeling “canteloupe Lassie”—you know, melancholy.)

10. The beautiful budding trees, waking up to springtime—like this lovely one. (I took this picture on my walk to work a couple of days ago.)

That's a fine list of things indeed!
Don't you just love taking those few moments to count the positive things in life?
That photo of the budding tree is a definite keeper! :)

Those pigeons need to get a room.

Um. . . it was 25 degrees this morning. Even I was grumbling about it.

Love this list, but love Iwanski's mood description most of all!!!

Wishing you a warm wonderful weekend!

I feel a little weird when the birds are getting more action than me.

I love the dog whisperer. We are thinking of changing vets just because he is opposed to Caesar's methods. A vet who doesn't understand pack mentality can't be good.

"Cantaloupe Lassie"...that dude of yours is a genius. Nice list, MHP.

It is always good to count blessings.

Glad it's finally warming up for you and I love that you get to walk to work. DH and I would love to see what it's like to live in a "city" where you can walk to wherever you need to go.

Thank you so much! I so needed this! So tell me (I will ask on facebook too) do you mean the French Market by the Metra Station? And do they have a good (cheap) lunch?
