-Laughing at this hilarious goat picture from our friend’s farm. Just mentioning it makes me chuckle again. Classic.
–
-The sound of Bracken’s sing song voice. It melts my heart every time. And his giggles make me bubble over with joy.
-The way Bracken looks sleeping in the afternoon light.
–
-Getting extra cleaning done to prepare for my mom’s visit. I finally got the kitchen floor mopped and was grateful for the kick-in-the-butt her visit gave me to get some things done I’d been wanting to do.
–
-Hearing the sounds of summer outside.
–
-Hanging up my new lavender wreath and being overwhelmed with it’s incredible scent every time I walk past it.
–
-Living a creative life. Our Spirits thrive when we get to be creative!
–
-Baths that refresh my energy so much. Amazing how a simple bath can do that.
–
-Reading such wonderful feedback from so many thoughtful customers and having lots of return customers throughout the week on Etsy. (Bless your hearts!)
–
-Going to pick my mom up at the airport on Friday and having a woman come up to me and ask if I was Taryn, then saying “I read your blog.” I was so surprised! I was delighted to meet a new friend, Andrea, and I felt so deeply grateful for all of you who read this.
–
-Jeff making a brand new item in our booth, handcarved wood magnets! So exciting. (They’ll be on our Etsy Shop soon.)
-Spending time with my mom while she visits for the weekend. We went blueberry picking on Friday and to market yesterday. Watching her and Bracken together is just so fun. It’s a treat to get to spend time with her.
Oh, Taryn, your list of gratitude is so rich and full! You are so right about living the creative life. We are fashioned by a creative Maker… we can’t help but be creative ourselves!
Nothing motivates me more to clean/organize/finish decorating my house like a visit from my mom either. It’s always much needed motivation. How pretty your mom is, what a great picture of the two of them!
Your lovely mama!
Such a lovely list Taryn. I bought some lavender yesterday and put some in the bathroom, living room and our bedroom, it smells wonderful, I love it.
The goat photo is very funny.
Wish we could go blueberry picking here. They are so expensive to buy!
Bracken looks so peaceful sleeping. Sweetheart.
Much love to you.xxx

Happy August Taryn!
I love your blueberry photos; blueberry picking is now on my life list! What fun it sounds…
Wow you’re still harvesting lettuce! How awesome!
That goat picture is hilarious! Oh my… says so much, yes.
I’d love to hear Bracken’s little voice! Post a video sometime 🙂 What an angel he is, sleeping on his quilt.
I love your statement of “Living a creative life.” That touched me! We sure do thrive so much better when our spirits are allowed to play creatively! So so true. Cheers to that ehh!!
And wow, you’re getting recognized on the street! You go girl!! 😀
What a sweet picture of your mom & Bracken.
I love your lighthearted list! (As always!!!)
