{Gratitude} Lately

Every day I look around in amazement at all the 

beautiful, yet simple, things that I'm so thankful for.

 Lately I've been grateful for...

the last jar of canned tomatoes and the tomato season that’s almost here

fresh cut peonies on a butcher's block in the solarium

a friend that’s willing to cut open a can of baked beans when the can opener is packed

glow in the dark wands

 the new CSA season

 and

the splendor of “country fireworks”
