Throughout the week I've felt grateful for: 

-Sitting on the earth, with Bracken in my lap, Jeff by my side, barefeet, a warm fire, a sky full of stars, the sound of drums, people all around and music making everywhere. 
.
-11 of you adding your links for the Gratitude Sunday link-up last week. 11 was a record! Yay! And I enjoyed reading all of your lists so much.
.
-Signs when I was walking on the right path. I had been needing some affirmations, some big Yes signs from the universe and trusted hoped they would come.
.
-Intuitive feelings about things and then having them happen.
.
-Hot days drying laundry so quick on the line and making the garden grow grow grow.
.
-Working in the garden at the end of the day, when it wasn't so hot out. We looked forward to it as a treat, a reward for all our hard work that day, and made so much progress out there. Time in the garden is so soul-fulfilling. We could be out there forever. Jeff and I joke that when we retire we'll spend all our time in the garden.
.
-A beautiful white moth flying at the window at night. 
.
-Eating cucumbers from our garden, cold from the fridge. So refreshing.
.
-A wholesale order from a Yarn Shop in Michigan! We spread the word about our ongoing deal during our giveaway on Ginny's blog last weekend and we already got an order! Woohoo!
.
-Having a dream where I was stranded in the middle of the ocean and a sea creature came to help me. It was as big as a dolphin, yet had the face and furry-ness of an otter. I was riding on it's back, then suddenly I was the sea creature and Bracken was riding on my back. It was a fun dream. 
.
-For this space. A wonderful creative outlet and place to connect. I appreciate so dearly all my blog friends and for all of you who take the time to read this, and leave your sweet comments. 
.
-Hanging up my grateful wall hanging in the perfect place where I can see it before I go to sleep at night and right when I wake up in the morning.
.
-Dropping everything and playing with Bracken.
.
-The generosity and gifts of others. I felt very touched by it this week. It came in different ways and it was all appreciated.
.
-Good sales at market yesterday. Truth be told, we've been feeling stressed about money lately and it's been weighing heavy on us. Having some new opportunities (like wholesale orders) come in has really eased our minds and helped us relax a little.
.
-Getting to spend time with my mom and having her help. Jeff and I are used to doing everything around here, so having her help around the place and at market is so great. She loves it because she gets to play with Bracken and we get to have an extra pair of hands.
.
-Spending time with people I love.
