1000 Gifts, Vol. 3, #97

971.  horizon of a farm town at 8 AM when driving east ... out of the flat prairie rises a bunch of treetops, and then high above even the trees, a grain elevator and several bins

972.  early morning workers ... construction crew building a house in our neighborhood, farm crew standing in a circle probably receiving orders for the day, port-a-potty sitting at the corner of the field

973.  a few fields beginning to tassle

974.  hiking ... in the woods ... surrounded by green and cool and shade ... to a canyon and a waterfall

975.  four days of nonstop family

976.  grace for this introvert to take timeouts to recharge

977.  a rapid-fire game of Dutch Blitz

978.  50-cent paperbacks at thrift stores

979.  about 20 phone calls checked off my to-do list

980.  a quiet home and neighborhood
