my face is smiling

due to these happy thing...

• fresh garden bounty

• my james rescuing a dragonfly drowning in our pond (He pulled this little guy out of the algae. The dragonfly flew to james' chest as if to say, "My hero," rested for a few minutes, wiped his eyes and then flew off into the cool night air.)

• fresh jam just made from apricots from a friend's 100 year old tree
  
  
• the music of Bearkat

• surprise gifts from far away friends
  

• Lisa's love for snails
  
  
• warm Summer nights filled with good beer, games of cornhole, and lovely friends
  
  

• my sleepy little dog
