Five on Friday

So Darci over at The Good Life Blog is hosting a rather cute blog hop of sorts. 

" blog about 5 things.... things that you're loving, things that are on your mind, etc.  Really, any five things --- how easy is that?"

Since I'm a "glass is half full" kind of girl, I'll focus on 5 things that make me happy.  

One.

Mountains.  And boy have they ever been on my mind a lot these days.  These mountains, in particular, are the Blue Ridge Mountains, taken in the great state of North Carolina.  I don't know what it is about mountains that bring me so much peace but I find myself longing for cool mountain breezes and a simpler life almost every waking second of each day.

Two.

This guy.  If you want to know why.  You'll have to read yesterday's post ;-) 

Three.

Fall Leaves.  It doesn't matter what time of the year.  Autumn leaves continue to make me smile.  It just never gets old.  

Four.

These 3 stooges who tried to hold their "disinterested teen pose" for the camera...

but failed miserably and reverted back into their smiley but old goofy selves. 

Five.

Nature.  A constant source of beauty that I am surrounded by here in Florida which I know I take for granted.  There are definitely worse place to live ;-)
