Want to Boost Your Happiness?

For me a couple things immediately come to mind. I enjoy maintaining a fresh birdbath and watching various birds (and the occasional squirrel!) drinking & bathing in the cool, clean water. In the same vein, I keep a mixture of sugar water hanging in the shade so the hummingbirds (local & migratory) have a little refreshment, too! I'm always delighted by their visits.
