Happy

Or maybe I should say "Blessed."

I'm just brimming over with gratefulness for this simple, beautiful day. Here's why:

-It got cooler last night than it has in a while. I actually slept under a sheet... amazing, I know!
-Cool night means cool morning breezes and we were able to have the windows open to the beautiful fresh air much later than usual.
-A quiet day at home puttering around to tend to many things that needed to be done.
-The power stayed on, the air conditioning worked, and I made a huge pitcher of iced coffee to sip.
-My baby girl dog, Kiara the rottweiler, has not been feeling well for a couple weeks now. We found the problem was a certain plant she was chewing on, so I pulled it all up and she improved, then got worse. Turns out there is a cousin of the original plant that is worse that she started chewing on when we took away the first. I pulled all THAT one out (and a few more for good measure) a couple days ago. She's much more her old self today, jumping around and playing. I hope the poisonous-plant-chewing is now behind us... I don't like to see her sick. :(
-Here's the menu for this evening: pesto made from fresh garden ingredients, grilled sourdough pizza with homeade sausage, and glazed doughnuts still warm from the oven.

All in all, a simple, beautiful day full of good things. :)
