I am grateful for making plans. I am grateful for this beautiful summer.
I am grateful for the opportunity to have lunch with my wonderful daughter and grand kids. I am grateful for a quiet evening at home.
I am grateful for the beautiful book, Knocking on Heaven’s Door. I am reading it and thinking of the deaths of my parents and husband. Will attempt to go to bed again.
I am grateful for another beautiful day, new friends in the Eastlake Organic Gardening Meetup, and watching my late hubby’s brother play bass at the Lemon Festival in Chula Vista. Also grateful for a dinner with lots of veggies from my garden.
I am grateful for lunch with friends in Julian and a quiet evening to read Knocking on Heaven’s Door.
I am grateful for being able to figure out Dreamweaver and update my syllabus with my class coordinators. I am grateful for getting BlackBoard set up for the fall semester. I am grateful to live close enough to get up in the mountains once in awhile. I am grateful for my garden and the yummy chocolate dipped blueberry ice cream bar I just indulged in.
I am grateful for time tomorrow for gardening and writing.
I am grateful for getting some writing done. I am grateful for a cloud of hummingbirds that share my deck at breakfast (and the juvenile oriole who left in a hurry). I am grateful for People’s coop where I don’t have to check whether the food is organic!
Grateful for another dinner from the garden (except for the tempeh): stew with tempeh (cooked in coconut oil), zucchini, peppers, potato, 5 kinds of tomato including Paul Robeson and green striped (of course some was consumed before it made it to the cook pot), several kinds of basil, rosemary, thyme, a little wine…

Starting Katy Butler’s book tonight…
I am grateful for a wonderful day yesterday with friends from Arizona and then an evening at a friend’s house watching Schultze Gets the Blues on their deck over a canyon. Today I got up late and after yoga and meditation, had coffee and “toad in the hole” “(made with gluten free cinnamon raisin bread and maple syrup) out on the deck with the humming birds, gold finches, and a juvenile oriole who was delightfully clumsy trying to eat from the hummingbird feeders. I am grateful tonight for warm evenings and solitude.
