Yay! and Yay!!

 Today is a double - maybe triple  yay day! First and foremost:  my watch is found!  Putting clean sheets on the bed, The Husband said, "There's a watch under here."  My breathing stopped for a second.  Yes, that sounds overly dramatic, but frankly it is true.  I caught my breath as I picked up my much missed watch and just danced in happiness.  Silly?  Of course.  Don't care.  I feel like there's a huge weight off me.  It ispo0oi currently sitting in the window getting a charge, it's kind of been in the dark for a couple weeks.  Can't believe it is found, thanked The Husband profusely.  Yay!

Poking around the garden yesterday while The Husband was doing the weekly prune and feed of tomatoes, discovered the blooms on the beans.  Haven't grown beans like this that I can recall.  (Lately green beans have become what I gravitate toward.) So happy to see there are blooms and maybe pretty soon we'll have some to eat.  We did actually bring in a couple small tomatoes - I think they're the Early Girl.  Pretty tasty.  Absolutely nothing like fresh from the garden edibles. Yay for them.

Yesterday was hard.  The wind was more than uncomfortable.  Hot, too strong and miserable.  Dust and ash and awful air quality.  So, so grateful for our air conditioning.  (I always sleep better with the windows closed.) This morning at six:  the temp was 61, air quality good, wind nearly gone and it was perfect for our morning walk.  I dislike being afraid of the air we breathe.  Yay for better air.

Today I am deeply grateful for tender mercies, which is what finding my watch feels like.  I know it's just a thing, just a watch.  It is important to me and I'm so glad to have it back.  Grateful for enough water to save our trees.  Grateful that so far we aren't aware of any lives lost from these horrid fires. My heart goes out to those who've lost homes.  And as always, so grateful for repentance.  It's a blessing I utilize every single day.
