"Elias what are you thankful for?"
He looks down at his plate, turns his head to the side. "I'm thankful for carrots and...that...we love each other so much and...for that picture right there and that Olive is eating. I'm done." He turns his head again, looking up this time. "What are you thankful for Mommy?"
Oh where do I begin?
Love it! See you tomorrow! Get the rain to stop!

Thank you all! It is funny how five minutes can change everything and then the next day you can want to pack your kids up in a crate and send them off to Siberia. Not that I would. But. You know.
And Flem, one of these days I'll post more garden pics. We got lucky with our new house, perennials galore, so I don't have to do too much, though gardening has become one of my favorite stress-relievers in a strange sort of way.
