This week, Amy invites us to share every little thing that makes you smile. I like this challenge because the further I move away from my days in Corporate America (it’s been four years now) into my “re-wirement” journey, the more I appreciate the little things life has to offer.
Most of those “little” things I find in my own backyard like this cute little chipmunk. He and his friends come out in the mornings and evenings to gather what the birds have dropped below the feeders. They move quickly and are quite entertaining to watch!

One part of my garden that brings me joy is this wall of Limelight Hydrangeas. We planted these in late 2019 and last year was the first year they bloomed. I can’t wait to see how many blooms they have this year!
“When a gardener gardens, it’s not just the plant that grows,
but the gardener themself.” ~Ken Druse
If you’ve followed me for a while, you know my favorite “littlest” things are the hummingbirds.
“A hummingbird is the spirit of pure joy. She is the messenger of beauty and wonder.
She reminds us to taste the sweet nectar of life.” ~unknown
There are so many other “little things” I enjoy, but I’m afraid there isn’t enough time (or space) to capture them all in this post. But hopefully these give you a glimpse of what I enjoy and maybe even brought a “little” smile to your face as well.
