[gottawonder]

Today I am grateful for:

Sunlight.

Getting a bit more packing/moving done (though not enough). I don't feel like I'm moving things quickly enough. I just get so overwhelmed!

A good phone conversation with my Mom. I needed that mental break.

That she is mentally sharp, and has time to talk with me, and is willing. I need to talk with her; sometimes she's the only person I can talk with, and I don't take it for granted.

My sweetie's drawings for the house plan were deemed acceptable by the county, he picked up his pants from the tailor, and also got groceries, so lots accomplished for him today.

We were able to go pick up some square bales today, and the seller even helped us load the bales. It's not a lot of hay, but I needed some hay until I can get some round bales for winter. I do feed hay through the summer because I have a horse that can't be on grass a lot (she has foundered, about 6 years ago), and the ponies have to have a controlled diet (ponies often founder on free access to grass).

Getting more mowing done.

How well the roses are doing this year. They are blooming right now, and very lovely to behold. The red currant bush is loaded with berries, and there are purple asters and golden rod beginning to bloom in the horse pasture, which is a sign that we are now into the later part of summer.

Helping my husband figure out what shirts look nice with his new linen pants, what belt, shoes, etc. I don't tell him what to wear, but he likes to check with me to see whether things look right together or not.
