-A surprise poppy blooming in the garden. What a sight!
–
-Realizing as we got in the truck to run errands on Monday, that I hadn’t been in it since the previous Tuesday, almost a whole week. It felt so good to have that grounded home time, I needed it.
–
-Healing and my face starting to look like myself again.
–
-Bracken saying mama and dada!
–
-Feeling so inspired, energetic, and on the flow. There’s been lots of movement around here and that feels good.

-Making several successful batches of applesauce. Remember the Smoky Apple Wine post from last fall when I was all big and pregnant and burned all the applesauce? (That wine never did turn out by the way.) I’m still an applesauce-maker-in-progress, so discovering a new method for making it was awesome. (I got a request from Evi, a reader in Greece, to post how we make applesauce. That post is in the works.)

-Checking out this link from a reader named Jen about storing fruits and vegetables without plastic. Great reference.
–
-The feeling of my feet against the cool earth and realizing how important it is to connect to the earth in that way.
–
-Seeing how big our grape starts have gotten! They are really thriving (and need to be put in bigger pots soon!)
–
-Making hard boiled eggs and remembering how much I love them chopped up on salads and having around for snacks.
–
-Reading every night before bed and enjoying my library books. The quiet time to wind down regenerates me.
–
-Trades at market yesterday that blessed us with strawberries to put in the freezer and fresh vegetables to eat.

-A heartfully satisfying conversation with Jeff last night. Isn’t there something so fun about laying awake in bed a little later than usual and talking with someone you love?
