Everything's exciting to a kid...

...so I took my sweet time, like I always do, when Carter was going, "MOM! MOM! COME LOOK! THERE'S A SURPRISE IN THE GARDEN!"
I was thinking he was going to point out the 1/2 dead pumpkin that he didn't notice before or some bug but was pleasantly surprised when I walked around the corner and saw these, which had come over the fence for a peek in my garden.







And I thought about the little things in life and how they bring me so much joy and lift my spirits. Little tender mercies...
