…Capturing some pictures of a butterfly on a flower at the beach, before it flew away.

.

…Getting extra zucchini from the garden grated and put in the freezer. (Thinking it will be a good addition to soups in the winter.)

.

…A fridge filled with good things.
.
…Bracken’s excitement over flying a kite at the ocean. And that Jeff had the idea to do that. 

.

…The peaceful silence at the Redwoods. It was so quiet. As we were leaving, I finally heard a bird singing and it made me realize how very quiet it had been.

.

…Sun coming out. Sheets drying on the line. Bare feet in the grass. Happy chickens. 

.

…Going to bed with that wonderful feeling of clean sheets. 

.

…Our friend getting her phone fixed. And then having a lovely evening chat with her.

.

…Jeff cleaning out the chimney before winter and cleaning some of the moss off the roof. 

.

…The warmth of the wood stove on a cold and rainy day.

.

…Waking up in the night to see the sky light up with lightning while my loves slept quietly next to me.
.
…Bracken putting one of his little hands on each of my cheeks, looking me in the eyes, and saying “Wuv Wee” (Love you) on my birthday.

.

…Birthday cards in the mail. Answering the phone to silly birthday-song singing. Sweet birthday messages. So many people making me feel so loved, it meant a lot.
.
…Deciding not to go to market. I ended up getting a sore throat, congestion, aches, and felt under the weather. It would have been no fun to feel that way in the rain and cold.
.
…Jeff bringing me tea with garden herbs that magically made my throat feel better instantly.
