Happiness is a big arugula salad.
With crumbled feta and a hard-boiled egg.

So nice to remind ourselves of what brings us happiness.
Aw, such great pictures. They definitely made me smile. I have to work on this glorious day but the hubs and I did get in a great 12 mile run this morning!
What area neighborhood do you live in??
Beautiful post, Tina!
amen tina
LOL, when you said “best friend” I thought for sure you would have shown Murphy. And then I was like, oh, duh, of course it would be her husband! Though I’m glad to see Murphy got his fair share of blog time, too.
Looks like you’re having a great day! Hope the weekend ends on a good note, too.
I am now! So happy you’re having such a fantastic Sunday Tina!
I love my best friend too
And over time I’ve gotten used to the new setup of the blog. At first I wasn’t too keen, but now thoroughly enjoy it
Enjoy the holiday and your lovely flowers
aww. this is great. Happy Sunday!
Such a good post. It’s nice to recognise the good things in life, as too often we focus on the bad. Those flowers are beautiful.
I’m glad you’re always looking for the good in your life.
What a lovely day Tina!
I too love when fresh flowers last a long time — and I do the same thing you do — after a few days or a week I retrim them way lower and put them in a new vase. Its like having a new vase of flowers!
I loved this post! Those flowers brightened my day.
Aww Tina, this is the sweetest post! It made me happy just to read it!
Lovely post!
Happiness is that Halloween mug!!
Can’t wait!
Looks like a fabulous Sunday
those flowers are so pretty!
great post, we have had grea weather today too!
Happiness is a wonderful thing. Great post!
Happiness is finding a post like this! Made my day
Enjoy your holiday weekend:)
Great idea to cut the stems down on those flowers! I find that having fresh flowers or plants in my house really helps to lift my mood. Glad you are having such a great day!
I absolutely LOVE this post! Its so sweet that you consider Mal your best friend. And your pictures are just beautiful!
oooh that salad looks perfect!
i love this post, everything is so beautiful! the flowers, the colors on your salad, the weather. i love that some days everything is just beautiful because it is! life feels so simple.
That salad looks so pretty that it would almost be hard to dig in to. Only almost.
I love how you describe Mal as your best friend.
Awww – that was so cute!
Loved this post, seriously
Aww great post! It seems like you have a lot to be happy about!
Great post! It made me smile… it is gorgeous out here in NYC as well!
Such a cute post! I love flowers that last forevvver! I don’t get what makes some last and others not though.

This whole post makes me happy! It makes me want to pay more attention to the little things in life
So sweet! Thanks for sharing your happiness with us
(Beautiful days leading to Fall make me happy too!).
Aw, how heartwarming!!
i just got introduced to this blog and love it already! this post did exactly what i believe you intended… made me so HAPPY.
it reminded me of this book i finished reading and have been promoting for all the world… it’s called The Happiness Project (by Gretchen Rubin) and it basically goes through the author’s pursuit for “happiness” over the course of a year (i forget the details…)… i LOVE this book though and thought i’d recommend it since it seems in perfect keeping with this post.
ps- have you had starbucks’ salted caramel hot chocolate on a chilly, yet sunny, day? di-vine.
i love Sundays!
