tired and thankful

Chris, Carmen, and I found ourselves unexpectedly flying home to South Dakota a few days ago. Even though the reason we were home was sad, it felt good to spend time with family and friends. 

We're back in Seattle now - tired and thankful for another day. I brought some flowers in from the garden this morning before attempting to catch up around the house. It never ceases to amaze me how easily a blue hydrangea can brighten my day!
