...I wake up in the morning and the day is a clean slate for me to fill in any way I like
...when I'm cooking dinner in the evening with a glass of wine with Mr. O sitting at the counter keeping me company
..when I give individual mommy love to the Gangstas, and when Squiggy throws his little legs around my neck and snuggles in
...when I sit on the stump out by the chicken coop and watch Buckaroo and the Harem pecking for morsels and chattering to other about their finds
..when we Crawl into our big log bed that had just been made with crisp, fragrant sheets that were dried outside on the line that day.
..when I sit quietly, observing the subtle goings on in the woods around our house.
...when I reflect on the bounty of all the simple things that living in this beautiful, peaceful place gives me.
