Gratitude:
- this gorgeous day
- that was my husband was able to go on the fishing trip to Florida that he wanted to go on
- this skirt I’m wearing that I got at a cool store in our tiny town- it’s black with red and yellow flowers all over it
- my son’s humming- isn’t music grand?
- getting on the schedule to get the pool closed (I thought they’d be booked)
- pictures from my sister- she’s visiting my dad
- my friend SanDee- she’s a “through thick and thin” kind of friend
- having the windows open
- bird singing
- wind chimes
- the moon- my momma LoVeD the moon- she’d text me a single word “moon”. I miss that.
- songs that come to mind all of the sudden on some random Sunday
- babies- my friend’s baby turned 3 months old yesterday
- movies- we have a movie room and tons of dvds, it’s fun to watch movies on a big screen
- 2 1/2 days at home!!!!! Sunday and Monday became our Saturday and Sunday. Lots of activities going on these days
- a sudden text from a friend- thanks, Cathy

The zinnias are beautiful – I have never grown zinnias before.

Thank you. You may like to/them. They’re so easy- that is why I like them. Seeds in dirt equal lots of colored blooms. They’re pretty drought tolerant, too. We barely had rain this summer, yet they bloomed.

That’s good to know Jessica. I once had a large butterfly garden and perennials but never replaced them after the Polar Vortex of 2013-2014 zapped them and they all died. I will decide after I retire whether to start a garden again – with climate change, I think I will not. I’ve been using silk flowers in my pots and planters … they look very realistic and I started doing that when I began my walking regimen in 2011.

Hi. Thank you. Oh, you did? Love that. I wonder if they’d grown in pots indoors? It would be fun to have them year round. So cheery.

I just thought of a miracle – sleep! How one can go to bed so physically and mentally exhausted and wake up refreshed and ready for the challenges of a new day!
