Once you plant seeds in the garden, you walk around every day scrutinizing every green thing that pushes up from the earth.
I've been doing this for the past 3-4 weeks. Today, it seems I can finally differentiate seedlings from weeds, grass and wiley Creeping Charley. The potatoes are popping up, the broccoli, collards, turnips, carrots and beets are showing themselves to be just a little taller than their invasive neighbors that I am now gleefully stripping away. The thinning process has begun!
I had this feeling today in the sun, as I took two large loads of laundry off the line (and realized I wan't internally grumbling about it), that regardless of the little stressors in our current life, here is where I want to be. Here is where I've wanted to be for a long, long time. Things feel right. I'm at peace.
And it feels really good.

What a perfect post. I had that exact same moment last night while hanging the fifth load of laundry for the day. (I leave it overnight if it's not going to rain :)). It was a rough couple of days with a sick baby A, hence the 5 loads of laundry. But being out there last night after the boys were asleep just reminded me why I love the good life so much.
How lovely MLMW! I get moments like this too, not often enough, but still, I am glad that I get them at all. It's a wonderful thing :)
