Surprises

Waking up earlier because the clocks changed back and having an extra hour each morning to loll about is welcome.

Walking outside and discovering you don't need the gloves that you have in your hands and shoving them in your pockets.

Seeing your shadow against the fresh, brand-new cedar shingles that you put on part of your house this weekend.

Knowing that you learned so much about being a carpenter in the last 2 weekends.

Walking to the chicken coop to let the girls out and finding not only an egg in the nesting box, but some of our new younger girls were hanging out in there; which is a great reminder that you may receive more than 2 eggs every 3 days from your 13 chickens some day.

The number of lattes you start drinking when you get a new espresso machine.

The fact that recipes in cookbooks are for a commercial 4-5# duck and not the heritage breed 3# duck that you're cooking for dinner tonight.

How flexible you can be when wanting to accomplish a dream.

That your daughter is capable of throwing real honest to goodness tantrums now.

Other people have excellent ideas if you're not too closed to accept something different than your idea.
