- Falling asleep to the sound of rain
- Coming home to the smell of a hot crock pot
- Dirt under my nails–forever and always
- Planting seeds, flowers, crops
- Crop tops
- Morning stretches–big and dramatic like an old cartoon
- Seeing critters while driving–porcupines, frogs hopping across the road, bears, deers, bun-buns, a family of Canadian geese
- The way completing one task inspires me to complete the next, slowly unfolding plans for the future
- Spanglish baby talk
