These are a few of my favorite things...

In no particular order...

Sitting on the deck with a good cup of coffee, sun shining, hoodie on because it's 50 degrees
Crisp juicy apples
Gregory who does the mowing and yard work faithfully and cheerfully
The smell of fall in the air - dusty, dry leaves; marigolds and chrysanthemums
Drew and Carrie both doing well at their jobs
Phone calls with dear friends and family
Kim who does the shopping and helps with some terrific meals
Open windows and no air conditioning
Erie visit planned for mid-October
Dick shifting his work hours and carpooling so we have longer evenings
Fields of wild sunflowers as well as 6-foot tall prairie grasses turning to rust and gold and bronze
Nathanael who provides hours and hours of delight with his giggles

...and this list could go on and on and on...I AM BLESSED!

Your ol' Dad sure likes to hear of some of the blessings you are enjoying.
We are 94 degrees this afternoon but is forecast to be 80 and then high 70s. No rain in the looksee.
Jason h as all the fields of wheat planted and all the corn harvested and milo cut in Lane county. Hoping the milo at the farm will be low enough moisture to harvest.
Our love to all of you.
