It's been a while since I've shared from my "loving" list in this space. Today seemed like just the right kind of day to do so.
Counting my gifts of joy, right here, right now:
.. sun warm on my face, making me sleepy
.. apples wrapped in paper, stored for the winter
.. pot and spoon, turned into drums by nephew (I'd forgotten how lovely-loud that sound is)
.. quiet evening home
.. steaming tea kettle
.. bowl of warm chili and a book
.. the reflection of trees on the pond
.. sizzle of onions in the stew pot
.. jar of handmade soap
.. dust, sucked up by the vacuum
.. the clickety-clack of typewriter keys
.. morning frost on grass, all silver
.. grey-brown rabbit that visits the backyard
.. christmas cards in the mail
.. fresh batch of peppermint bark
.. wreaths on the windows
.. tree in the house
