Here are some happy things from today:

• Gideon was looking up at the bookshelf today and asked, “What is The Book of Virtues?”  To which Bel and I both said that it was a book of virtues, and laughed.  Gideon wanted more information, but all Bel and I had were puns.  For a few minutes, Gideon started reading the book, and that made me happy.

• Now that I'm home I have fallen into the habit of doom scrolling.  I started with watching someone that tends to be inspirational.  Then I saw some art on books.  A little later I was learning a little bit of the history and techniques of fore-edge painting.  Here is a link. It is amazing what some people can do artistically.  
• In the afternoon I went out for a short walk.  One of the first things I noticed are all the flowers in the yard that are in bloom.  There are areas with so many weeds I am happily surprised that things like tulips came up.  

• While walking I also noticed a chipmunk and some sparrows busily searching for food.  There are ferns getting ready to open.  Spring is in full swing.
