-Jeff making a very magical soup that healed a sore throat that was starting to creep in. (the magic of elderberries helped too.)

.

-Shrinking a mountain of laundry until it became an empty basket. Dare I say caught up? (Is there such thing?)

.

-Jeff flavoring our homemade pickles with garlic, cayenne and turmeric. Yum! My favorite pickles of all time.

.

-Sleep. Sleep is a wonderful wonderful thing. (And since Bracken’s birth, I’ve learned to never take it forgranted!)

.

-For fermented foods with our meals. Since we fell in love with fermented foods, meals don’t seem complete without them.

.

-The gentle cooing sound that Bracken sometimes makes as he is nursing to sleep. That sound melts my heart. It’s so precious.

.

-How much cleaning a messy part of the house improves the mood!

.

-Our friend finding some answers about her illness. I am so very grateful for that. She was in pain and they didn’t know what was going on. Now they can take some action. The strength of her Spirit during challenges has been inspiring.
.
-Feeling so proud of how productive we were, all the creating we did for market this weekend! We were working till the last minute, putting walnut oil on all the wood and getting the last buttons on cards. Then we stood back and admired our hard work. That felt good.
.
-My nightly ritual of writing 10 things I’m grateful for from that day. It grounds and centers me.
.
-Jeff keeping the fire going overnight, for a few nights. It was wonderful to have our home so cozy and to wake up and be greeted by warmth.
.
-A very powerful dream about taking a leap of faith. It felt like a breakthrough.
.
-Watching Bracken’s delight over picking his own huckleberries and eating them in the sunshine.
.
-Moments of letting my entire body relax. Bliss.
.
-For each and every sale in our market booth and on our Etsy Shop. When people come and say “I love your booth!”, we feel pretty darn happy. We love creating!
.
-Seeing friends at Holiday Market.
.
-Finding fresh raspberries at farmer’s market yesterday. The golden ones and the regular ones. What a treat!
.
-Trading at farmer’s market! I get downright giddy. I’ll admit it.
.
-A new favorite mushroom: cauliflower. Tried them for the first time and we’re hooked.
.
-Farmer’s market goodness. Kale, Beets, Carrots, Celery, Salad Greens, Onions, Garlic, Cilantro, Cabbage, Winter Squash, Apples, Asian Pears. Love!
.
-Seeing all the bounty and colors of the fall farmer’s market. Oh, have I mentioned farmer’s market? 😉
.
