Things I Want to Remember

Moments from this weekend that I want to remember:

~ the quiet, early morning stillness of my garden as the sun rose

~ harvesting food from the garden to put by, offering gratitude with each bean, snow pea and calendula flower picked

~ canning food in my little kitchen, fans going, as the summer temperature reached 40 degrees Celcius

~ harvesting garlic in that same heat

~ the connection I feel to this land we call home

~ the pantry shelves slowly filling up, ready to feed us all winter long

~ enjoying breakfast, lunch and dinner on the back deck

~ time alone, with Justin, while Reece visited with my parents

~ the beautiful connection my little man has with my parents

~ the ending of a good book, and the beginning of a new one

~ casting off, and casting on

~ letting bedtime pass by unnoticed because he was having so much fun with his dad

~ the way he skipped out of the wild raspberry bushes, all smiles and so full of joy

~ the first zinnia

~ fresh flowers from the garden, brought in to bring a little happy into our home

~ quality time at home, moving slowly and simply through our days

~ this life, the one we dreamed of, no longer a dream, but a reality

It was a good weekend around these parts, nothing special really, yet it felt so very special. A kind of weekend you want to hold on to, to remember.
