- The blue glass bottles on a neighbor’s windowsill
- Watching raindrops fatten and fall from the porch overhang
- The bright red Cardinal and his more obscure lady friend who flirt in our back yard
- The neighbor who hangs her wash to dry on hangars on her back porch
- Hostas with leaves so green and plush you could lay in them
- Knowing where the sun shades the porch at different times of day
- Zucchini tomato avocado lemon thyme salad
- Writing gratitude lists with a baby in one arm
- Buzzing, busy flies darting off to important destinations
- Round cut logs stacked in a haphazard wood pile
- The buddhist way, “do no harm”
Isn’t it amazing how mothers naturally learn to do so many things with just one arm? Hooray!
