1. Steve and I (mostly Steve) tackled the heavy job of pulling out three monster Barberry shrubs. While he used his truck and did the man-sized work, I trimmed and raked and cleaned up. At one point, he quipped, "Isn't this nice?!" That's what I always say, so it was funny to hear Steve say it. I agreed and said, "Yes. This is what I enjoy the most, to work outside, especially side by side."
2. I walked across the horse field with my eyes down, maneuvering the manure. I stopped to admire the huge cedar posts of the lean-to where I like to sit and daydream when I have the chance. "This is my field and my manure.", I thought to myself. I smiled at that happy thought, deeply thankful that it is so.
3. Chelsea has left an address for a mail-drop later next week. I think of what we can send. We're to write on the package, "Please hold for thru hiker Chelsea. ETA 3/14/14".
I love the creativity and ingenuity that comes from making care packages.i'm making one for our son in china.
ReplyDeleteI am also the one who says, "Isn't this nice?" Or "Isn't that pretty?" That's really nice that Steve said it.
ReplyDeleteI also say things to myself like, "This is my field and my manure." We are lucky.
I hope you blog about what you send. Maybe Girl Scout Cookies? I'm so covered up in those still - I think that is what I would send. :)
