-Our fuchsia bushes absolutely buzzing with hummingbirds whizzing all around. They’re acting like they are having a party and we love to watch them.
.
-Delicious smells coming from the kitchen.
.
-A skype date with Aunt Sam and making silly faces in the camera. Bracken did some dancing for her as well.

-Bringing more kitchen bits and garden weeds to the chickens as they grow.
.
-How hard Jeff works for our family every day.

.
–Dried anchovies. A new (to us), nourishing food we are all enjoying.

.
-Jeff turning off his lamp and reading by a smaller light when I was ready to go to sleep.
.

.
-Bracken finding some wild salmon berries in the yard to eat. (Helps until the other fruits ripen.)
.
-Clearing off the bulletin board in the kitchen. A little less clutter is wonderful.
.
-The smell of lemonbalm in the garden, as I pulled weeds. (And getting a good workout from squatting for so long, since the ground was wet and I didn’t want to sit.)
.
