Every Friday we pick up an organic food box. Everything in it is fresh and yummy and perfect. Last week, we opened up a mango that my son had been so terribly patiently waiting for to ripen. Outside it looked beautiful. Inside, completely black. Ugh. He was so sad.
We went to pick up our box this week and as we were walking to the car, he suddenly ran back in. He wanted to tell them about his horrible mango experience. By the time I got back inside, they had brought out a box of mangoes and the owner had cut one open. It was gorgeous! So, they handed Fuss two to replace the one he’d lost. He was so proud of himself and I was proud of him for speaking up and getting a wrong righted, so to speak! Here’s Fuss with his mango booty.
Enjoying the fruitful journey, Amanda

We had another snow today. We didn’t get out, I can’t see my car, etc. Getting kind of tired of them, at this point.
So, mid-afternoon I looked out the front window and someone was in my neighbour’s driveway showing his son (or some young man) how to use a snow blower. My neighbour wasn’t home, and I thought that it will be so lovely for her to turn up and find that she doesn’t have to shovel tonight! I was so happy for her. I wished someone would snow blow my walk & drive, but I don’t want to take anything away from my neighbour!
Around 5 I took the kids up for bath and when Fuss was done, I sent him on his merry way. I was hanging out with Bug who wasn’t quite finished. Fuss came running upstairs to say that someone was out on our walk. What? I got Bug in her pajamas and went down to see what was going on.
My neighbour was out shovelling our walk and driveway! The very same one who had hers done by an unknown snow blower!
And, she had dropped off a book I’d been wanting to read.
My grumbly snow day really turned out to be quite nice in the end!
Enjoying the journey, Amanda
