Practicing Gratitude {1093 – 1100}

Another good, fun visit from my Dad.

Watching the miracle of caterpillars-to-butterflies.

A robin nest on our back porch, and a peek at her pretty eggs.

A veggie garden, with a few varieties of heirloom tomatoes I’ve never tried.

Baking with my ten-year-old, using a recipe a few generations old.

Watching my daughters working together, both eager to plant me a tree for mother’s day.

Having a mom to celebrate, and celebrating being a mom.

Sweet text from a friend celebrating her first mother’s day, who told me I’m a great influence on her as a mom — an inspiring yet humbling thought!

Wonderful post—such great blessings we all have, if we are just willing to open our eyes and look.

Lovely list. The photo of your daughters planting a tree brings a smile to my face.

Which heirloom tomatoes are you trying?
