simple gifts

Thankful for the gift of freedom today…thinking of all who serve…thinking of those already headed Home, their duty done for all time…

Simple scenes from around the house the last few days…
Fresh picked, just down the road…
Homemade bread, fresh out of the oven…an easy-peasy recipe from the Joy of Cooking…usually made every two days.
Our weather station, special gift for boy so curious about seasons, times, and measures…he checks it faithfully.
We've had so many rainy days that this hasn't happened much…but the rain has been good for the garden…
The spinach…growing very well…unlike our lettuce, which did very, very poorly. A little stumped as to why.
Love my flag…the kids picked it out a few months ago…it makes me smile every time I see it…
And well, my favorite part of our house, and it's not even inside. *smiles* It makes me think and consider every time I pass through the door.
