Joie de vivre

Friday I realized that it's been six months since asthma has interfered with my life. Yay drugs!

Saturday I turned a $15 art print into a work of art via clever use of antiquing paste, glaze, and a knife. I also  talked myself into and out of buying a new camera in the space of ten minutes.

Sunday I found out we have a baby bunny living under our house. He hops out into the yard and it makes me very happy. I haven't seen a rabbit around since we left Florida. 

Today I have realized that one of the things in life that makes me the happiest is when I suggest a book/recipe/song/movie/place to someone and they come back later and go you know, that was a really good book/dish/song/movie/place to go. The majority of the time this happens at the library, and it makes me feel worthy of my calling. 

I went to a wine tasting and bought a bottle and was never asked for my ID. o_O I am, after all, just a few months over 21. Maybe I look older than my age after all. Or maybe it was that "air of confidence" that I don't see, but am told I have. (Hannah?)

The good news is that I found something I like much more than dry red wines. Yay for a sweet table wine.

Saturday I also saw tigers. Live and very, very large...but oh so cuddly looking. I wish you could tame a tiger absolutely and keep him as a pet. For one thing, they remind me of Hobbs.

I love what's happening in my Sunday school class. I love the caring and concern people have for one another.

I never seem to think quite so well about life and love as I do when lying in the dark on a blanket on a grassy hillside, with the sounds of the live music washing over and around me. And I think I say this every year after the festival.

I love sweet potatos.
