The other morning the skies were grey
and as I drove down the road feeling glum,
I noticed some flowers starting to blossom on the trees.
It looked like the trees were waking up.
The little white ones looked as if they were yawning
and slowly wiping the sleep from their eyes.

Fiery blooms looked like
they were surprised to see spring.
Like they had jumped out of bed
all of a sudden from a deep sleep.

It made my day a little bit brighter!
Hey, guess what?
I just completed my 52 Weeks of Happiness!
Woo hoo!
Fear not, I am officially addicted
to scouting out joy in my life.
Tune in next tomorrow, where I will premier
a brand new fancy button
for the next
52 Weeks of Happiness project.
Be sure to tell all of your friends to come and play next Tuesday!

to scout out happiness for a whole year?
Simply post a photo of something that
makes you wildly happy and tell us all about it.
Then, steal my button and include it in your post.
Don't forget to link up to Mr. Linky.

Your shots are amazing, Leigh.
Very pretty flowers
Beautiful shots. yay for spring!
Love your imagery and language about "waking up" to spring, just when you were also groggy in the morning. A nice way to wake up to the day and to spring! Thanks!
52 weeks sure went by quickly din't it?! Happy that you will be continuing. I also love that we posted similar things today :)
Gorgeous photos. 52, that's amazing! Looking forward to checking out your new button. :)
Oh I am so envious of your beautiful spring. Here in New England it is still very cold although we are expected to be in the 60's for a day before it drops back down over the weekend.
I love the way you look at things, and I could totally visualize those flowers doing exactly what you said. Congrats on your 52 weeks can't wait to see the new button.
Woo Hoo! Bring on Spring and all the beautiful blooms... Beautiful pictures :) Happy 52 weeks!
