Duck Ponds

April 29's 10 Things to Be Happy About

1. Sitting by a Duck Pond - My boyfriend actually has one of these at his school and I love to go out and feed the little ducks and they also have geese and two swans. Recently they're eggs all hatched and they are absolutely adorable. Mike sent me pictures of them and it makes me smile.

2. Cliffs Layered with Earth's Past - Well the wind and the rain have slowly eroded the different mountains or hills to become cliffs and it is amazing that just those two things can form such an amazing structure.

3. New Art Supplies - I love new paint brushes, that is my favorite because then no one has managed to ruin them yet. I hate when people don't wash them right and there's paint stuck in them and then they're ruined. When I used to sketch I loved having fresh pages in my sketch book.

4. A One-Armed Saguaro Cactus - As opposed to no hands or tons?

5. Throwing Someone a Surprise Party - I love doing these. I threw one for my mom one when I was younger and she had absolutely no idea and it was really fun. I also had one thrown for me when I was in middle school.

6. The Collective Unconscious - We're all unconscious at once?

7. Rolling Up the Carpets - This actually annoys me if I can't get them to roll up while they're lined up. The problem with doing this is that as you roll up the carpet it always managed to go on a diagonal and that's the part that annoys me.

8. The Rain Stopping - It's been raining her at school for weeks at a time and it has stopped for the past few days but it's supposed to come back this afternoon. I'm glad that it stopped otherwise the river would be up even further than it is currently.

9. Cook Bacon in the Oven - I cook it on the stove but never in the oven. That is an interesting concept and I may attempt it because it sounds like an interesting experiment.

10. A Rumpled Bed - You know what just happened in that bed...no one else needs to know. What happens in bed stays in bed ;)
