Grateful...

1. For three big stacks of firewood on our front porch, whispering that winter will be warm in our little house.
2. For good parents, mine and Jamie's.
3. That my mom was able to be with my grandmother when she died late last week. Feeling so fortunate to have the mother that I do.
4. For all of Jamie's hard work on our house.
5. For harvested vegetables, the freshness and intense taste of local broccoli, beets, and potatoes.
6. For our little garden's first year of goodness.
7. For the privilege to have the choice to leave my job.
8. For dog kisses.
9. For autumn colors against snow-dusted hills.
10. For my Dad's recommendation to check out Carla Hannaford
