Throughout the week I’ve felt grateful for:
…The incredible scent of the purple irises in the garden. I had forgotten, since last year, just how amazing that smell is.
.
…Unexpected gifts and surprises.
.
…Eating popsicles in the sunshine. When it’s hot out in the garden, they are such a refreshing treat.
.
…Bracken decorating our fridge with his pictures. I loved hearing his descriptions of each one and watch his artwork evolve, even in the course of a single day.
.
…Each time Jeff and Bracken came in from the garden with arugula and parsley to add to our meal.
.
…Going through all our seeds, seeing what we have and what we still need to order. And feeling that excitement about the garden that we feel every year.
.
…Turning an old washtub that was in our garden into our new strawberry planter. We love it.
.
…Jeff surprising Bracken with new (glitter!) paint and paintbrushes. Our boy has been really into painting lately and adding glitter to the mix made it even more fun for him.
.
…Seeing people finding their niche and doing what they’re passionate about. Enthusiasm is contagious.
.
…The fact that it’s market season and we have money flowing in again. Winter can be a challenging time for artists (and farmers, from what our friends have said.) What a relief when market season begins.
.
…Going to self-defense. I hadn’t been there in quite awhile and it’s so good for me.
.
…A beautiful market day yesterday (in the 80s!), eating strawberries, and seeing friends.
