I am grateful to be able to sit in the car in the yard again. I can see and hear the birds, squirrels, crickets, frogs, garden spiders, and lizards. (all we could hear at the motel was traffic, people yelling, and kids above us running and jumping late at nite.
I am grateful I had a pair of socks and a blanket last nite.
