Favorite Things

So, my optomistic, always look on the bright side, find the good (if not the great) in everything daughter has decided that for the first 30 days we live in Kansas we should find 1 thing that we like about this new place. (you can read about her things on her blog: http://www.kimjoyinkansas.blogspot.com/ ) So here's my list so far:

Day 1: a double rainbow (I believe just for me).
Day 2: there are flowers, lots of them, in my new yard! I want to learn what they all are and how to help them grow and thrive.
Day 3: sitting on my patio in the morning with my bible and my cup of coffee, hearing the birds sing and not getting eaten up by mosquitos!
Day 4: seeing how crisp and clear everything looks when you aren't looking through smog. Seriously, I was amazed at how used to seeing the world through less than clear air I had become.
Day 5: sitting out on my patio in the evening, having dinner with my family, enjoying the cool evening breeze (dinner for us occurs between 7:30 and 8 pm ), perhaps taking a dip in the pool, and not getting eaten by mosquitos!!
Day 6: Being able to do my errands without getting stuck in traffic!
Day 7: I discovered an herb garden in my back yard - right by the back door from the laundry room - I don't know how I missed it before! I have basil, rosemary, chives, and oregano (I think). I am really excited!

So, there's my first week in Kansas! I look forward to what discovery today will bring!

P.S. I do now have 1 bug bite of some sort on my back. 1 bite in 1 week - I can live with that for sure!
