1. morning glories 
{because a couple weeks ago, i noticed a vine growing in my flower pot, and i almost pulled it out. but i didn't, and now, every morning for more than a week, there is at least one bloom, sometimes two, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, sometimes pink - all from the same vine.}
2. coffee 
{because i accidentally did an experiment where i didn't drink any coffee for three days and the first two days i had little headaches and the third day i had the most wildly hideously awful headache i had every had. so, obviously i need coffee. also, coffee tastes really, really good.}
3. these friends 
{for stopping awhile with us.}
4. our first gratitude board 
{because who knew what kinds of things my class would write on the board.}
5. this sunset 
{because wow. because ben was home when i took this picture. because we had been on a long drive-about with some mini-hikes mixed in. because the sky out here is forever putting on lovely garments provided by her Creator and showing them off for us.}
