- 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.
