Here are the highlights of our gratitudes this week:
-Our little nugget's fascination with handfuls of garden soil.
-Looking at a really amazing piece of property on the river and although it is out of our price range, it gave us a new perspective on our homestead shopping. We're starting to think more out of the box about ways to make our dream property affordable so hopefully we can make it work!
-This exciting new drive to meet our goal to have over 100 listings in our Etsy shop. As of writing this, we are at 76!
-Opening our old plastic yogurt container we use as a compost container in the kitchen and finding a little village of sprouting mushrooms in the loose tea and coffee grounds stuck to the top of the lid. So beautiful and intricate!
-Feeling more comfortable and confident in baking without a recipe.
-Making the most amazing and sweet sourdough banana bread that wasn't sour at all even after sitting out over 12 hours to ferment (thanks to the baking soda added just before baking).
-The sweetest kisses from our little nugget.
-Seeing the green shoots of all our spring bulb flowers pushing up through the ground and a few buds on the daffodils!
-The invasive Feverfew coming up everywhere but I'm not pulling it out just yet, we're loving the lovely little bit of green color it brings to the sleeping brown gardens.
-Getting out one of my old Cabbage Patch dolls as a model for a special order doll cloth diaper and our little nugget picking up "baby", carrying it all over the house, giving it kisses, rocking it in her rocking chair and even asking to sleep with "baby" all the time. Her natural nurturing instinct astounds me!
-Having a warm enough day to go out and check the gardens for new spring growth and play in the dirt.
-Daylight Savings, meaning we can start enjoying longer days and knowing the long, cold winter is almost over!
Those mushrooms are amazing! What a surprise.
ReplyDelete:) what a great list. can't you use fever flu for something? like in tea? maybe you could dry it and use it later. :)
ReplyDeleteI am excited for the snow to melt and some green to come here too
ReplyDeleteI love the mushrooms! I also am loving the new spring coming up everywhere! We have bulbs popping up and I can't wait for little flowers to emerge
ReplyDeleteThat's one nice way to look at Daylight Savings Time. :)
