an onion...

as a little girl one of my favorite books was little house on the prairie (actually the whole series)  i loved the simplicity and community that these characters lived out.

so i had dreamy ideas of moving into our first home and neighborhood that we would experience the same "down-home" community.

well i couldn't be more delighted when our neighbor stopped by today to ask for an onion.

an onion!  i barely could contain my excitement that he came to ask for an onion...and that i had one to give to him.  i skipped through the house to our pantry, picked out our best onion, and with joy handed it over.  there really should have been some swelling music in the background, cause it felt like a musical moment.

i'm sure greg, our neighbor, had no clue what his request meant to me.  but it was the highlight of my day...
