Today I am thankful for...
~a growing garden, in relatively good condition. Other than some of the plants on the ground - zinnias, carrots, and marigolds, most of the garden survived during my vacation. I discovered the culprit and his break-in route and believe I have fixed the problem. It was a tiny baby bunny - one of many I have seen in the garden this year - and now I hope I have him blocked. He is cute, but deadly.
~two wonderful weeks in Maine, at our home away from home. I am thankful for my parents and family friends who make it possible for us to go there.
~a home to return to. While I can't say that I was entirely ready to come home - I mean, come on, a house by a lake in Maine or a house in the suburbs in Pennsylvania? - I am very thankful for what I have. A roof over my head, a safe environment for my daughter to play, and a nice location, though lacking the lake and a bit heavy on the traffic. Oh, and I am definitely thankful for my washing machine and vacuum cleaner - the pets are in high shedding season right now!
~a fantastic petsitter who goes above and beyond her regular duties. Without her awesome care, we could not go anywhere.
What are you thankful for today?
