Lately I've found myself spending some time pretty much every evening out in the yard. I'm often taking care of some little task; sometimes I just get distracted when I take stuff out to the compost pile. I need to get the hammock up. Getting the furniture back out there is on the "Daddy-do" list when he comes in a couple weeks- I just can't move that teak stuff by myself. Too big!
It's been nice, though, to be outdoors a little more lately between yard time and walking to work. I realize how bad I've been about that for...oh, too long....and how good it is for my soul. Tonight I went out to water my baby trees and was very excited to find a few things, which will constitute my pictorial happiness/gratitude list for the day:


The above two give me good hope for the grapes this year. They were terrific (and underappreciated by me) last year.
My baby peach tree has a peach on it!
And my baby nectarine tree has several nectarines!
The lonely apple...it was the only one that was anywhere near my eye-level, at least.
Likely taking the night off tomorrow- Idaho travel and a little Reckless Kelly to see.
