One thing I'm happy about right now...my pumpkin patch. Ok, well, it's actually just our garden, which has been yielding odd things this year. We planted the same as last year and ended up with hundreds of cucumbers (compared to ten last year), no bell peppers at all (compared to about 100 last year) and a crazy amount of pumpkins, some of which are huge. I wanted to take pictures to chronicle their growth, but to me it's too similar to a baby bump photo montage. I'll get there though. Today Mr SC and I making sundried tomatoes and spaghetti sauce from our tomatoes, too.
One thing I'm hopeful about for the future... to be better able to recognize and embrace all that I do have and not dwell on what I've lost. That, and someone to invent chocolate with all the taste and no calories. :)
My nominees are...
JC at Steps to Baby
Erika at Pollination Chronicles
Katie at From if to When
Adele at Delinquent Eggs
