-Watching blueberry buds turning to little green blueberries (since a few weeks ago when I took these pictures.)
.
-Jeff making three delicious, gourmet meals on Mother’s Day.
.
-Bracken pounding the sauerkraut. Perfect activity for two year olds who love to help and have a lot of energy!
.
-Strawberries planted. Cabbage planted. Cauliflower. Beets. More lettuce, cilantro, and broccoli. Yay!
.
-A good, grounded home day with a blend of relaxation, productivity, and a little outside time too.
.
-Bracken napping on me. When he grows and no longer does that, I’ll surely miss it.
.
-Being further inspired (by illness) to learn more about how the body works so I can help support our family’s health.
.
-Homemade chicken soup and Bracken getting his appetite back that night.
.
-My mom calling and making me laugh and lighten up when I was too serious and worrisome.
.
-Finding little things to be grateful for on rough days when I need the reminder.
.
-Watching the finale of The Office on Hulu. It was bittersweet, since I’m sad the show is over (it’s my favorite show of all time), but it was a wonderful ending.
.
-Bracken having a picnic on the living room floor. He packed his basket with food and a drink and rode it over on his trike. I set up a little blanket for him and he was all set.
.
-Seeing the fish swimming around the pond Jeff built years ago. (With no care from us they continue to thrive.) The water creates such a magical spot in the front yard.
.
-Waking up to spring noises. Singing birds and frogs.
.
-Garlic. My body has been asking for it!
.
-My mom singing this song to Bracken when he wasn’t feeling well. The same song she likes to sing to me. (I love it so much and it makes me tear up.)
.
-Sleep. I was so tired last night I lasted about a minute after I got Bracken to sleep and even fell asleep with clean laundry at the end of our bed, waiting to be put away!
