Each Thursday, I join a handful of bloggers who list their thanks.

I’m thankful for our vacation;
herons on the beach at sunset;

time spent with my children NOT doing schoolwork;
body wash and deep conditioner;
my Bible; Sharpie pens; warm socks; quilts;
our ophthalmologist; corrective lenses;
New Balance shoes; yellow, orange, and red leaves stuck to the pavement;
good stories and the people who write them;
the airplanes that bring my husband home;
garbage pick-up days; autumn rain; open windows;
cotton pajamas; scented candles; vegetable markets; art festivals; casseroles; and good neighbors.
