Telling a simple story

44. Putting the garden to sleep for the winter.
45. The chickens joyfully scratching through that freshly tilled soil.
46. Recognizing the immense value of the tiniest of creation.

ladybug moment

47. Allowing myself to fully enjoy the moment I discovered I'd swept the floor of a difficult photo challenge.
48. Seeing real progress on a behavior modification programafter only four days.
49. Her tiny sweet voice singing, "My moon-light me ha-ppy!" (see number 48)
50. Being brave enough to activate another custom function on my freshly-back-from-repair-but-still-pulling-my-hair-out-frustrating camera... and having that finally make all the difference with my focusing issues.

Focusing issues? That picture is STUNNING!

I love it... like want to hug it love it.

And Yay for staying in bed until daylight! :)

Jess said...

Thanks ladies!

Focusing issues... yes. As in, look! A properly focused picture (and many more like it - finally!)

Daylight? Sadly, no. Far from it. And we'll be right back where we were when Daylight Savings time ends. But it's progress at least.

Jess said...

Or does Daylight Savings begin?

Whatever.

I can almost smell that freshly tilled earth. I have always loved that smell. Then the frost, it fills my senses.

Your picture is to die for and I would love to know which photo you submitted. I've been sick and I've not been visiting lately, but be prepared for a comment bomb.

It has just exploded all over your blog.

I think Daylight Savings time ends... and this is the second year in a row I'm actually looking forward to it - these dark, dark mornings are killing me. It's amazing how a simple one hour change in the day can have such an affect on little ones! I've heard good things about that night light thing. Hope it keeps working for you - even with the time change.
