Carleen over at Life, Liberty and Good Coffee has tagged me for a fun little exercise. List six unimportant things that make me happy. Then I must tag six people to whom I pass it along.
So here goes:
Six Unimportant Things That Make Me Happy:
- The smell of lilac that hits my nose when I walk past the bush in our front yard (now sadly, gone until next year)
- Playing with my goofy dog (this is a cheat entry because it is not unimportant to him)
- The very intelligent and quizzical way our cat Hannah looks at me when she wants something
- Polydactyl cats (have six or more toes). I want one, but we cannot get another pet right now.
- Waking up in a panic and then realizing it it Saturday and I can go back to sleep
- Seeing the climbing rose in my backyard in full bloom (it is not there yet)
Here are the "victims" I am tagging for this.

My great-grandmother had lilacs, hydrangea, and snapdragons that bloomed right outside the front door of her house in upstate NY. It was a profusion of color and delightful scents that I have often wanted to repeat at my own house, but we don't have a screened porch to enjoy it or a patch of grass anywhere near the front door. :(

We had a huge lilac tree in our backyard when I was growing up.
I was so excited to plant one in my own house because the scent reminds me of my childhood -specifically my mother. I call mine the 'lying lilac" because they *told* me in the store that it was white, but after I planted it and it bloomed (a year later) it was purple lilac. It still smells wonderful though, so I left it.

Just reading your 6 things brought a smile to my face, especially the lilacs and your sweet dog!
