Today I am feeling lucky for so much.
For this beautiful home on our farm, and the freedom it allows my children,
For this beautiful home on our farm, and the freedom it allows my children, For these incredible little people who I get to share my days with and who make me laugh for joy so many times a day.
For projects on the go- sewing summer pants and pj's for the kiddos, 
and socks (these reddish ones have been in the bottom of my knitting basket for two years- Ari chose the wool himself and I don't love it much, so it has been hard to motivate myself to finish them. I had to pull the heal out to make them longer, as the boy seems to have grown a bit in the two years it is taking me to knit him these socks! But I am determined to finish them, and then I will let him choose his wool from some mama approved choices, so I can enjoy the crafting experience!)
Finally getting some photos printed and in frames to put up on the wall- I've been meaning to do this for a very long time.
For my kids ability to make such good fun from such simple props,
Eating good fresh local food. A little is coming from our garden- lettuce and herbs, but we are getting lots from the farmers market and enjoying an abundance of bright-yolked eggs from our chickens. Kale chips and frittata- yum.

And the sky tonight. Red sky at night- sailors delight. Better pack the bag for the lake in case there is sun tomorrow!
Goodnight, friends.

ReplyDeleteThe socks are the sweetest. I especially like seeing them mostly finished on his foot.
I love it ALL!!!
ReplyDeleteTell me more about the kale chips though!? I'm intrigued!

Joey- oh, kale chips are the best! My kids devour them. I'll post a recipe- everyone needs to know about kale chips!
ReplyDeleteTai I love this post! You have so many blessings- those two beautiful boys of yours are so precious!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about kid-chosen yarn, I have had to swallow my desires in the past and let them choose- for Ella it is often bright pinks, while I would love to be knitting in soft neutrals- grays and such. I wanted to make her gray and white striped socks- she wanted pink and green. :)

Melanie- pink and green sounds like fun! and yes. so many blessings!
