11 Things We Like Lately

1. Buckets, 11 of them, arranged in order by size.
2. Sidewalk chalk.
3. Neighbors who leave hand-me-down presents of sandboxes, buckets and sand toys in our driveway.

4. Neighbors who grow extra tomatoes and shove the plants through our side of the fence, just for us.
5. Galas, Empires, and Arletts, and living 10 minutes from an orchard, with u-pick apples for 60 cents a pound.

6. The last of the evening sun.

7. Umbrella cranks.
8. Buzz Lightyear underwear.

9. Morning hikes in Letchworth on beds of fallen leaves.
10. Walking sticks left for the taking by previous hikers.

11. Cocoa, with marshmallows, drunk from enamelware mugs around the campfire.

[Update: I just saw that Soule Mama had a very similar, albeit much better posting this week: enjoy.]
