bits of happy

What a week. It was my birthday, which if you know me, is not usually something I like to talk about. I'm not sure exactly why, but I am not really big on celebrating my own birthday. Or its more like I hide away from everyone around my birthday.  ( I am not good with attention) But this year I tried. I had a couple little dinners with family, went on a few good hikes, gave the dog a bath (had to mention it because it was so needed and I was so happy to have a cleaner, less smelly dog..which lasted all of about 12 hours)  and tried to relax and enjoy myself. The mister and I also did a bunch of little house repair projects that have been needed to be done (Birthday wish list). All and all, I had a good week. And now the birthday week is over and we can get back to normal, not bugging me, hectic, crazy, life. That makes me happy. Here are a few of my happy bits from the big week.

I went to get myself a new skien if yarn and stumbled upon this wall display of sprinkles.. It took a lot to not buy a bunch.

IMG_7267 Every year I buy myself some special food for my birthday week. This is the bulk section at the local coop. They got in a bunch of new local dried beans!!!!  Local birthday week beans. ( yes, beans make me happy)

IMG_7291This hike was pretty treacherous, the whole trail was covered in this ice…. but look how cool it is.

So now we go onto the last week of January! (holy crap, where has the time go?)

Have a great week!
