…New growth.
.
…Weeding around the grapes (in the rain) and blueberries (in the sun) and bringing them to the chickens.
.
…Jeff digging up herbs in our garden to share with a friend.
.
…A visit to the woods to see the trillium.
.
…How good it is for our souls when we get time outside each day.
.
…The smell of homemade french onion soup cooking on the stove. It was a very good batch.
.
…Days with sunshine shining through the windows and lighting up the house. A treat after dark, rainy days.
.
…Waking up to the sweetest e-mail from my sister that kept bringing a smile to my face the rest of the day. Her words really made my heart happy.
.
…Bracken bringing flowers over to me while we were in the garden. A dandelion, two tiny daisies, and some little pink ones I don’t know the name of.
.
…Extra cleaning around the house. 
.
…Play time with friends.
.
…The two fish in the front pond swimming freely and seeming much happier after Jeff and Bracken cleaned it out a bit. 
.
…Finding a cashmere sweater at the thrift store in my favorite color (green) for only $3.27! Right size and right budget too.
.
…Time outside. Fresh mountain air. Hauling loads of firewood. Exercise.
.
…Grandma calling and helping things when we were having a hard morning.
.
…Jeff surprising me and making the chicken soup that I was going to make for lunch one day when I was feeling overwhelmed and stressed (even though he was plenty busy too.)
.
…Laughing while we listened to Car Talk Radio on the drive to town. Those brothers really crack us up. 
.
…Another early morning, working by headlamp while Bracken slept. I love having productive time in my day before Bracken even wakes up. 
.
…Being outside to witness the gentle breeze covering everything with pink blossoms.
.
…Home time.
