Icicles. Currently our house has teeth. This is unusual for our neck of the woods. They remind me of the silly fake teeth of the abominable snowman in the 1960s Rudolph animated film. You know the one, where the snowman just needs new teeth - then he's a nice guy

Well our house will probably be losing its teeth today or tomorrow. In the meantime it is a novelty to look out and see icicles over a foot long. Some possibly near two feet long. Some skinny, some fat, some bunched up together.

What is your happy? It can be anything under the sun, the moon, an dthe stars that makes you happy.

What made me happy was being I had to leave fairly early this morning the lack of traffic and fairly good roads.

Doesn't take much to make me happy.

Livewire, I am so happy you won your bid!

Once upon a time, we had winters where we had icicles hanging from our roof every winter. This was a NORM for us. Over the past ten or so years, our winters have changed and we don't have this much anymore, even though we just got 3 inches of snow on Sat/Sun.

Happy for me is the sun is shining, I see budding trees and know Spirng is just around the corner. That first burst of rebirth after winter always puts me in a good mood and I feel as if the sun has exploded waves of warmth deep down inside me, thawing me out thus my rebirth.

Love your description of the toothy house, bjh! And you're right, that's exactly what icicles can look like. Hope yours didn't create any ice dams in the roof...

My happy today was my fur kid, who decided that he wanted to watch me make tabouleh from the vantage point of my left shoulder, so he leapt from the floor to my shoulder, settled in and started purring while supervising my efforts. Or at least he did until I started cutting up the nice juicy red Roma tomatoes... this silly feline is absolutely addicted to tomatoes, and as soon as I started cutting them up, he started inching down my chest in a bid to snag a bite. I was laughing so hard I had to stop cutting, for fear I'd slice off my own fingertip. I finally bribed him to leave me alone by putting a couple of nibbles of tomato in his food dish, then quickly finished chopping and mixing, and got the tabouleh into the fridge before he could try a repeat performance.

Silly fur kid!
