Endlessly grateful: to my dad (and mom) who brought two huuuuge truck loads of wood, all chopped and ready to keep us toasty warm in the coming months. Can you say S-P-O-I-L-E-D?
Cherishing: the time I have to work slowly, methodically and interruption free while my kids are at school. It's bittersweet having them all in school again (or for the first time!), with an emphasis on sweet.
Loving: the feeling of the garden being emptied, fertilized and tilled - ready for the winter. Thanks for tilling, Dr. Feelgood. Such a gift.
Chicking: things off the fall to do list. Yes, that was a pun. We emptied out our chicken coop for the winter and have 120 eggs in the fridge waiting for someone to turn them into a gourmet dish.
Planning: bonfires like there's no tomorrow. Because, soon, tomorrow will be too cold.
Avoiding: the niggling thoughts that I'm receiving 600 pigs and shipping 400 tomorrow. It's what I do, but some days, we all don't feel like doing what needs to be done, right? Please? Someone?
Listening: to the sounds of Taelyn in the bathtub, squirting water out of a fish. It's her day at home today.
Smelling: Nothing. No smells indicating that anyone has started supper. What to make. This is becoming a bit of an epidemic. Whatever happened to regular meal planning? I used to be so organized.
Cozying up: With the following books: One Thousand Gifts, The Omnivore's Dilemma, Made to Crave, The Rhythm of Family, and Crazy Love. A bit of a smorgasborg, but I love it! Fall and reading.....mmmmmm.
Looking forward to: a date with my oldest daughter at the teahouse on Wednesday evening.
Wishing you: all a great week. May you stop long enough to breathe in the gorgeous fresh air and admire the extravagant display of fall foliage. Isn't it startling how death can look so beautiful?
