DAY 20: May I present my gnome village 😊I’ve had this sort of set up for a while but it felt unfinished and I didn’t like the location. Today I moved it to in front of my deck and added more touches. It brings me joy 😊 My dad made some of it—the cabin, outhouse, picnic table, wood piles, boat, and canoe. I’ve been holding onto them for a while (an understatement because he died 24 years ago) and finally decided to set them up (with a few repairs). He meant for a plant to go in the back like I have it. It’s all so clever. If you’re wondering where the fairies are (cuz you know I love #fairygardens ) they’re too delicate to be out in this heat, so they’re spending this scorching summer in my house 😂 #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.

DAY 14: I got a text this morning that one of my bestest forever friends was in Minnesota and did I want to get together… Um, YES! I had a great afternoon/evening hanging out with Robin! And the bonus of seeing her great kids and mom and step-dad (who also made a tasty supper!) No matter how much time passes between visits, it’s like no time has passed at all 🥰 #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.

DAY 13: I saw a post about teacup gardens and I had to try them! Found a cute cup, embellished it with paint and darling buttons, added succulents (and some baby chamomile), and a fairy 😊 I love how it turned out! #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.

DAY 12: Confession time: I usually deep clean my car twice a year—spring and fall—but it’s been over a year since I’ve done it 😬 But today was the day… so here are some pics. Look how satisfying the before and after are of the last two 😊 #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.

DAY 11: I haven’t been to a movie since right before the pandemic lockdown. I love seeing movies in the theater. Black Widow seemed the perfect first movie to return to the theater and it was great! #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.

DAY 10: Quite a bit of milkweed grows by my house and I do occasionally see monarch butterflies, but I rarely actually see a chrysalis. I found one today though, which made me so happy! #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.

DAY 9: There’s a legend in our family that the huge willow tree that was in my parents yard was planted by one of my previous grandpas by him sticking a willow branch in the ground and it grew into a huge tree. It was beautiful and a great climbing tree! A few years ago it started dying and eventually had to be cut down. I saved some sticks and propagated them and one survived. I planted it last year in a pot and it grew in my house but then went sort of dormant. Kendrick helped me plant it outside last week and today I was so happy to see it budding leaves! I’m not sure it’ll survive but I’m hoping it will! #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.

DAY 7: Progress on the deck—Erv and I put up the lattice on the bottom today and though it still needs some cleaning up, it looks so good! 😊 #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for. https://www.instagram.com/p/CRFxHf5JNST/?utm_medium=tumblr

DAY 6: This is sort of 2 things but both car related 🚙 1st, I needed my tires rotated and was going to have it done when I got my oil changed, but Erv offered to do it for me 🥰! 2nd, I saw this hack and it actually works! For cloudy headlights, spray Off bug spray on them and wipe off. Look at the difference! Amazing! #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for. (at Deer River, Minnesota) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRDSC8KpEci/?utm_medium=tumblr

DAY 5: I realized I’m beginning to recognize the things that make me happy—because I know these have made an appearance in previous 100 happy days. Black-eyed Susans! I love them and there are so many in this field this year! Butterflies love them too! #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.

DAY 4: My little butterbean Suki 😍🥰 She seriously makes me happy EVERY day, but today I was sitting in a chair at the end of the chaise part of the couch while she napped on the other end of the couch. She came and rested her paw on my knee politely, until I noticed, to let me know it was time for petting and scritches 🐕🧡🤎💗 #100happydays challenge - For the next 100 days I will find at least one thing to be happy/grateful for.
