This week I am thankful for...

* our backyard clematis vine

* a successful (and complete as of this afternoon!) first year of school for my daughter

* her great kindergarten teacher

* get-togethers (and runs) with friends

* CSA boxes

* strawberry spinach salad

* money for a few days' research at the University of Michigan later this summer!

* professional validation

* a good textbook find

How about you?
