Gratitude List:
1.  Screech owl whinnying at dusk in the bosque.  (Isn’t that a sweet series of sounds?)
2.  For the few times a year when I can’t seem to cope without them: antihistamines.
3.  That vegetable medley casserole my mother made us for supper this evening.  Because every once in a while, it’s just so nice to have a mom-made-meal.  Thanks, Mom!
4.  Medical assistance from Suzy and my dad for my poor little skunk-bit hen.  She’s going to be okay.
5.  The butterfly bush.  I know (now) that it’s an invasive species, and we perhaps should cut it down, but it’s so alive with small pollinating critters that I can’t bear that thought.

May we walk in Beauty.
