Gratitude:
- a day of staying put
- sunshine
- hanging around at home
- zinnias with and without color
- bright berries
- blue skies
- driveway loops
- swing set
Yesterday we stayed put. Four days a week at least, we are somewhere else besides home, so staying at home was a treat.
After walking twenty two driveway laps, I ventured around the yard in search of something to photograph. The zinnias we planted for my momma and a tree with bright orange berries seemed like a good place to be.
Even the swing set seemed to sing, with its dark green slide and seats. Most of our yard has taken on a tan-brown view because of endless droughts this year.
Other shots are somewhat random, but I like how they turned out. It’s funny what can make a great photograph sometimes.
because we have cats who like birds…
Today we are off again on grand adventures that include decorating a float for an upcoming Christmas parade. With cooler temperatures, I will be including long johns and a coat, ha ha.
Hope you have a wonderful Friday. Thanks for being here.

Zinnas are one of my favorites. This last year we had a whole row planted just outside the patio windows where I sit and read. The seeds were given to me from my daughter in North Carolina who had kept them from your flowers the year before. That made them very special.

Oh, I love that!!! That your flowers were from her seeds. That’s very sweet- bet they were fun to watch grow. Zinnias are wonderful- seem to be pretty hardy and adaptable to weather and things. I love the variety of colors they come in. I hope to save the seeds from these and plant them in the same spot next spring.

I saved seeds from mine this year – hope they work next year. We had a lot of humming birds this year attracted to the zinnas.

I enjoyed your photos. I’m having a nice day at home, with gentle rain from the hurricane and none of the forecast winds.

Hi. Sorry it’s late, we were out most of the day and evening. A nice day at home sounded pleasant- especially the gentle rain part. Glad the winds skipped you. Thank you, I’m very happy you enjoyed my photos. That makes me smile.

It’s wonderful that you find gratitude in staying at home – I do too! I love the deep red colour of the zinnia (a lovely ode to your mom). Great photos – oh, and love the kitty! Enjoy your weekend!

Hi! Thanks so much. Those zinnias were such a welcome sight this spring and summer. Love that some are still blooming in November. Nothing beats home, but exploring is fun and heals the heart, too. Hope you have a nice weekend as well.
