Throughout the week I've felt grateful for:

...The fuchsias blooming around the front yard. They're beautiful, but I especially love the way they draw so many hummingbirds in.
.
...My mom being able to get on the same flight as Bracken and I on one of our plane rides home. It was a wonderful surprise to spend all that extra time with her at the airport on our next layover. Words don't describe how immensely grateful I felt for that.
.
...The woman who traded seats with my mom so she could sit next to Bracken and I on the airplane. It made the plane ride so much more fun with Grandma Julie there.
.
...Everything that Jeff did to take care of the place while we were gone. I appreciated it so much because it allowed Bracken and I to take our trip, which was so special.
.
...Going straight to the garden when we got home and seeing everything Jeff had planted and done to surprise us. (He loves to surprise us when we return home.) 
.
...The taste of home food. No restaurant compares.
.
...Jeff making a new table by the clothesline for me to put the laundry baskets on and to put his jars of sun tea. Our other one was out of commission and having a table there sure is handy.
.
...A little unexpected time before we needed to be somewhere to stop by the park and play, while we were in town. Bracken enjoyed it to the fullest.
.
...Having a working lawnmower again. We don't have much grass to mow, most of our yard is planted with food, but the bit that we do have is very nice to have a lawnmower for. 
.
...A pool for Bracken and a pool for the ducks. (Bracken's old pool had gone to the ducks, but then it got a crack in the bottom. After all of Bracken's fun in the pool at Gee Gee's, I knew it was time to get him a new one, so they both got new pools this week.)
.
...Transplanting some strawberries in a pot that didn't like their spot much to the sunny hillside where they'll be much happier. (And where they'll be good ground cover.)
.
...The wild yellow canary that visited me at the window during a quiet moment.
