Nature

thunderstorms
autumn in Ann Arbor
big snowflakes
knee-deep snow
lilacs
wisteria
jasmine
honeysuckle
big, fragrant roses
climbing roses
herb gardens
snow-capped mountains
sunrise at the beach
sunsets
the color gradiation of a cloudless sky at dusk, the first stars shining through the darker part of the palette
birds chirping at dawn
butterflies
owls
horses
labrador retrievers
golden retrievers
kittens
fishing
camping
roasting hot dogs and marshmallows over a campfire
hiking in England
gardens
bunnies
the first week in the fall that the temperature doesn't hit 80 degrees even once, when I'm sure that fall is finally here
cool enough weather that I can leave windows open instead of running the air conditioner
Mt Rainier
autumn in the Pacific Northwest
catching sight of the Cascades or Olympics on a clear day after days or weeks of overcast skies

You've inspired me! A big butterfly swooped by me in the wind yesterday! First one I recall seeing this year! Bluebonnets are everywhere! Severe hailstorm missed us a couple days ago! I didn't get laid off last Friday! Granddaddy is totally moved out of Irving! I have a home, communication, transportation! I have a beautiful daughter and beautiful grandchildren and step-kiddos and step-grandkiddos! I lost 20 pounds! We're starting to pay off our credit cards! My husband and my dad put up with me! God is good all the time!!! :-)
