Our little back yard is really special. It's a neat shape and has cool fruit trees and shade and flowers and even trees the right distance apart to hold our hammock. These are the things I am thankful for today.

| 2. Our peach tree, heavy laden with ripe and wonderful peaches. |
 |
| 3. the late bloom of a hydrangea, which reminds me of the South and makes me feel more at home. |
 |
| 4. this neat flower which I cannot name, but I think my mom has them in her yard in FL, and it makes me feel closer to her when I look at them. |
 |
| 5. The brick and wood fence that stretches along the side of our yard and reminds me of our Pulaski St. garden back in Athens. |
 |
| 6. Flannery's easel set up in our garage, some beauty amidst the unpacking mess. |
 |
| 7. sidewalk chalk that doesn't disappear for ages -- since it never rains here! |
 |
| 8. my thoughtful and industrious husband who saves us from the yellow jackets but protects our honey bees. |
 |
| 9. my daughter running toward me when I come outside from doing laundry. She bubbles over with wonder. |
 |
| 10. a camping hammock on a quiet lazy afternoon |
