You capture - JOY

This weeks "you capture" challenge was JOY. Wasn't real hard to capture some joy this week, that was for sure.

Joy was to be found when my husband volunteered to help the middle schooler with her pinata. It will be a monkey when it's all said and done. I hope.

Joy was to be found when the husband mowed the lawn and it was BEAUTIFUL until the wind blew all the branches back, but I still found joy in the green green grass.
Joy was to be found when I discovered a lone daffodil blooming in the flowerbeds. I dug most of them up last fall, but obviously, I forgot one. Or two.
Joy was to be found in the sighting of these grape hyacinths also blooming.
Joy would also be found if we had warmth and sunshine all day. But I have yet to see those.
Where did you find joy this week? Check out "You capture" at "I should be folding laundry".
