What made you happy today?

Hornet laid her first egg!

Honestly, the possibilities are endless. It's worth the happiness hype.

I use them to take pics of my weekly hatched chicks in...

Usually every year give or take I switch just to change things up.
This one was a mineral tub for cattle at work. Day one I liked the blue so decided when they emptied it I'd snag it.
Not many cows so it was slow going but I still checked it every work day. Finally today...

What can I say, I'm easily happied.

Well I'm glad you 'splained that, Lucy, I was gonna ask what was so special about it since it didn't even have a bail (handle) on it, but I'd be happy too if I had a bucket that sprouted chicks like that every week!

Also, Hornet tossing wood shavings over her shoulder in the nest box to ward off evil spirits.

Love my little nuggies!

This morning my DH's car which had just got out of "the shop," having had a new alternator and batter installed, had a totally dead battery. DH said the CD player (it's a 2012) had been constantly trying to eject, though there was nothing in it. Apparently it continued to do so all night, resulting in dead battery. Called AAA. The Guy jumped the battery and - BAM! The car started and it quit doing that. Everything works perfectly. THAT made me do my happy dance!

The trains are finally stopping with the horns as they go by my house. The area was finally voted as a quiet zone last February (as in Feb. of 2024) after close to a 20 year fight by the neighbourhood. It took them a year and a half to implement it, but while the occasional engineer forgets, most of the trains are no longer blowing their horns.

I knew about train horns before I moved here. My old place wasn't right on tracks, but it was reasonably close. What I did NOT know was that the freight trains have horns for the deaf. If you are anywhere near them, you will hear them even if you are stone deaf just by the vibrations. If you weren't deaf before the horns, you will be after.

I lived for a while right next to a train track. Got so I could sleep right through it.

 

[BigBlueHen53]

And yes, they blew their horns going through.

I currently live by train tracks. Very active tracks, over 20 trains a day go through, and that's a low estimate. They blow their horns before, during, and after coming through town. At all hours of the night. You get used to it but I do feel bad for anyone with an emergency east or south of town. The tracks go through two parts of town and the volunteer fire dept is on the north side of the tracks
