Things I'm loving

• Reconnecting with long lost friends on Facebook. I'm so happy to have communicated with people I haven't heard from in 20 years but had always hoped were doing well.
• Proper fall weather.
• Waking up and not having to go anywhere.
• Walking downstairs and getting to have my family, coffee and the newspaper all at one shot.
• Switching from sandals to clogs
• Scarves and jean jackets---thank-you S, for your cast-off white one!
• Feetie pajamas
• Days spent outdoors with my best friends. Days spent anywhere with my best friends.
• Hot soup (okay,warm soup;I do like everything to be room temperature)
• Stella snoring after a long walk
• Mort singing
• Having back-up camera batteries when mine need to be recharged
• Sunlight streaming through my dirty windows
• the fun new songs to which I'm listening
• All my friends' children. They are all such real little people!
• Obnoxiously oversized rings
• My plants that keep growing despite lack of care
• The deer in the field
• Floppy hats
• Riding a bike with flat tires
• Leaves slowly drifting to the ground like they're being carefully dropped at perfect intervals for a scene in a movie
• Paint splattered ladders
• The Halloween decorations that I put up under duress
• my vegetables that insist on growing despite the cold
• ponchos
• that I found my sunglasses!
