52 Weeks of Happy-Week 16

This week has flown by and my happies this week focus largely on spring and good weather with a little volunteering thrown in.

First off, we are finally seeing signs of spring.  Beau and I pass this bush on our walks and I think it's a Rose of Sharon but I should probably do some research to confirm that.  The buds are getting really fat and growing quickly so it should be bursting into bloom shortly.
I'm happy we detoured down a different street on Tuesday.  We came a cross this wonderful field of naturalized spring blooms.  Isn't a great picture?
Wednesday brought both warmth and clear blue skies. This is a tree silhouette where I work.  We still need the green leaves but there's hope they will be arriving soon.  The temperature photo is from my car dashboard.

Yesterday I flew south for some work related education.  My trip down did not go quite as smoothly as planned due to some weather.  I ended taking a slight detour west and north of where I needed to be but I did eventually (very early this morning) end up at my intended destination.

And although morning came VERY early this morning by the time I got to bed but it was worth getting up early to participate in a volunteer event that helped out an organization providing education and other support services for homeless children in the area I am visiting.  We were a great team and we were all happy when our time was done due to the sense of having done something good for others.
