Raisins

My house smells absolutely glorious today. I have rosemary, mint and parsley drying in the oven and trays of grapes changing to raisins on the counter. I breathe deeply and reflect on how blessed my life is.

My three year old helped pick the grapes yesterday (four different varieties in all) and he spent the entire time with his mouth full of those juicy grapes. We have eaten our fill of fresh grapes and have plans for jelly and juice.I can't help but sneak a few of the earliest raisins and I am grateful for these simple pleasures of life.
