Happy Easter Morning Sidewalk Sunshine

Just a block from home on our Easter morning walk my dog Valentino and I were delighted to find a bit of unexpected sunshine. This sun made a great beginning for a Happy Easter!

What a sweet surprise to find the child who lives in the house on the corner had painted a giant sun with sidewalk chalk and the happy phrase, "You are my sunshine!"

You are my sunshine dog, Valentino
Valentino and I found a bit o' sunshine on our Easter morning walk.


And yes, hours later, I am still singing that song in my head and with a smile upon my face. With a bit of sidewalk chalk, what might you paint on the walkway to your home for passersby to find?

Saint Patrick's Day Lucky Charms

Street walking with my dog today I simply had no time to search for a four leaf clover while keeping up with him. However, I was delighted to find four lucky charms of another kind ... dandelions ... St. Patrick's Day sprinkles of sunshine!
