most thankful

for the loves of my life.

list number three...

of things i'm thankful for this fall:





my little hamburger baby. served with a side of pickles and fries, natch.

spiderwebs. i love them. and spiders.

mild weather days. lots of them that keep the leaves hanging on to the trees for what seems like ever.

big fields of cabbage.

and, again with the food carts.

list number two...

of things I'm thankful for this fall:






cold sunny fall days that cater perfectly to our coffee loving hearts. his - iced and enjoyed in the sun. mine - hot and enjoyed in the shade.

watching people listen to records on mississippi. I especially love when people are careful and calculated with the records and placing the needle. I'm a lover of careful and calculated hand movements.

taking lincoln on his first flight above the clouds. and extra thankful that he slept for most of it.

warm breezy days. we had a lot of them this fall, which, prompted me to open up windows and doors and hang dry clothes all over the house. I also loved walking past said hanging clothes to get a whiff of the fresh laundry smell. am also loving stripes these days.

cheese. am thankful for cheese all year long really, but, we enjoyed some really good cheese this fall and had fun trying out some local cheeses.

hand me down baby jeans. they're just so so so cute.

list number one...

of things I'm thankful for this fall:






preserved foods. pickled especially. makes me giddy.

garden grown tomatoes. this year was the year of the tomato and lemon cucumber in
our garden, which, lends perfectly to my favorite garden fresh sandwich. sliced tomato, sliced lemon cucumber. salt and pepper and LOTS of mayo.

portland food carts. they're everywhere and they're the perfect eatery when equipped with crying baby.

sunflowers. also loved by bumble bees.

a warm day at the pumpkin patch to hand pick lincoln's first halloween pumpkins.

and peaceful little baby naps and the happy little squeals that follow.
