.

…The opportunity to talk to a dear friend on the phone and how wonderful it feels to have those people in your life who just get you.

.

…The inspiration to get up in the woods to look for mushrooms and then finding chantrelles!

.

…Harvesting all our winter squash in the garden.

.

…Raking leaves on a fall day while Jeff cleaned out the gutters. 

. 

…Eating watermelon in the sun. 

.

…Waking up early and being able to turn the light on without waking up Bracken. 

.

…Simple solutions around our place to make things flow more smoothly and be a bit easier. (One example: a bigger garbage can in our bathroom, rather than the tiny one we had before that seemed to fill up in a flash.)

.

…Bracken gobbling up avocados like crazy. (Toddlers and low blood sugar are not a good combo and an avocado and hard boiled egg in the morning really seemed to help things till breakfast time.)

.

…The smell in Jeff’s workshop when he is sanding wood. 

.

…Feeding the sunflowers to the chickens as we cleaned up the garden, and eating some ourselves. 

.

…Baking a pumpkin in the oven on Halloween. 

.

…Changing my mind. Bracken asked if he could help with something and I said no, but then I saw his face drop. So I said yes, watched his face light up, and felt in my heart that I was back on track.

.

…A crock full of sauerkraut, fermenting in the kitchen. 

.

…Being home on a rainy Saturday. (Rather than setting up our market booth out in it.)

.

…Baked onions. So delicious. Want to bake onions more often now.
