Today I am thankful for...
-a quiet moment beside a lake. It has been a little rough around here lately in toddlerland. If we can make it several hours without a kicking and crying breakdown, then it is a good day.
-the fact that I saw this little guy BEFORE I squeezed him with my fingers! He reared up and looked quite menacing. I almost fed him to the chickens, but then thought about the beautiful butterfly that he might become.
-garden goodness, both from our own garden (tomatoes, green peppers, green beans, loofahs, herbs) and from the farmers markets. Gazpacho, lemon balm and mint sun tea, beet salad with goat cheese and walnuts, the always popular panzanella - we have good eats around here! (Well, we're not eating the loofahs, but they are the most vigorous crop in our garden. I am amassing quite the collection that are piled up, hopefully drying and not molding. This is what I'm hoping for...)
-bright, beautiful color. But can you believe this is happening already? I'll blame it on the lack of rain instead of the impending change of season.
What are you thankful for?
