My lady....

she was eating lunch and I was doing paperwork...

I looked up to see her watching me and smiling. She reached over and said, "I'm SO glad you're here with me today."

I confess...it made me a tad weepy...I may not be visiting her any more per my agency.

Making myself a pretty breakfast

Breaking in my new mower. Mowing is like therapy for me.

Surrounded by freshly cut Lavender..it was heavenly

Waking up to Grace's head on my pillow. She was snoring up a storm.

Spending time with family.
Cute text messages.
Dessert porn pictures lol

appreciation and hard work
 

Fresh potatoes straight from the ground (which were so worth the few fire ant bites I had to endure)...
Fresh picked tomatoes, greenbeans, and cucumbers...
Getting to nurture a large patch of fruit vines that have 'baby' cantaloupes ...so looking forward to the first ripe ones...
A watermelon plant that my neighbor planted just for me...
Several hundred strawberry plants and a bunch of heirloom cherry tomato plants (of several different kinds) just full of soon to be ripe fruit...

A long awaited, very important phone call. :phonegab:

Having a text wake me up saying "I am boarding the plane". She will be here for 2 weeks!! Joy! :)

My niece learning how to cook. She's so funny!

Not having a squishy kitchen floor

An amazingly delicious supper

My son has been collecting coins he finds on the ground outside... he's got like $4 bucks... what a smart kid!

Seeing and hearing the kids I'm babysitting today have fun and their laughter and smiles. They're awesome kids!

Talking to the mom of one of my daughters friends... knowing she's finally finding friends who have things in common with her.

The beautiful sunset.

Typically, I detest details in all their various forms....
 

....as I'm much more of an overall picture sort of thinker. However, today they were a respite from larger looming certainties (and uncertainties).

Losing myself in the day's minutiae was a joyous and passionate love affair.

And I feel really good as a direct result.

Getting the pictures we took via her cell phone sent to my cell phone so I can post our pics from Saturday!

holding my cat Zoe.:hk34:

My best friend's excitement when they told me about the hummingbird they watched feed from my feeders today.

Getting home after a long day in town.

The response from a friend when they saw the frozen treat and soft pretzel I bought for them.

Calling for positive energy and getting so many wonderful responses.

Speaking to a local friend and finding out their organic blueberries will be ready by the gallon full in a couple weeks...and sharing this news with my favorite elderly neighbor lady. She's gonna swap old recipes with me in exchange for my homegrown eggs.
