A Few of My Favorite Things

Wow... it is not every weekend we get to have a Friday the 13th... and luckily every Friday the 13th isn't filled with bad luck! Last Sunday JoyAnne and I saw a shooting FIREBALL in the sky... like a shooting star, only during the day and with no meteor (I read up about it on Monday's KSL news). Apparently a fireball during the day is EXTREMELY rare to see... so I figured if a shooting star is good luck, then spotting a rare fireball during the day must be REALLY GOOD luck! It is a good thing I had this super duper extraordinary good luck, cause my Friday the 13th had quite a bit of bad luck... imagine how must worse it would have been without the magic of the good luck fireball!!

Anyway, Friday evening I was sitting in the backyard reading the 7th Harry Potter book (ooooooh it was SO GOOD!!) and I started thinking about all my very favorite things!! Here's a couple of them!

I love our cute white rocker! (And I love that SOME DAY we'll have a pergola over the cute white rocker!)

I love evenings the couple hours before and after the sunsets.

I love running in the early morning.

I love peaches.

I love having my family right next door... I love seeing their lights on when I look out my kitchen window.

I love peonies! I love the super sweet rose smell of peonies! They always remind me of my Grandma Clayton... she had lots of peonie plants at her house!

I love that we have the nicest neighbors! Today our FREE lawnmower wouldn't start... so our neighbors ALL came over to help us with the lawnmower!!

I love that Amy and I fight over who gets to mow the lawn every week... cause we both love it!

I love that we have fun bright colored flowers that are STILL alive in my hanging basket!

I love that we have big trees for shade!

I love that we have a cute bench around the tree!

I love to watch this weed grow... as you can see we don't weed-wack the edge of our yard often... I love how this weed is ALMOST as tall as our fence!

I love Jon Schmidt's "Morning Light".

I love washing the dishes by hand... very weird huh? Our dishwasher is busted right now... I have been enjoying the "thinking time" every evening as I wash our dishes!

I love having super wonderful great friends! I love talking with you all and getting to read your blogs and hear about your stories and adventures and your day-to-day lives!

I love having family dinners every Sunday! I can't believe how lucky I am to get to have such a wonderful family!

Happy Saturday of Summer!
