Day 12, Day 13

 Yes, I missed posting yesterday.  But I will catch up today by posting for two days.

A Month of Giving Thanks.  Day 12.  November 12.  One reason I did not post yesterday was because the weather was borderline okay for working in the garden outside, so I spent several hours cutting back bushes that already had dead leaves and emptying pots with dead plants.  I am thankful that I had a warmish day with time to work outside.  And no, I didn't take a photo of that pile of dead leaves... you're welcome.

Day 13.  November 13.  Something else I did last night... Well Read Mom meeting.  I am thankful for the good discussion we had about this month's book, Giants in the Earth by O.E. Rolvaag.

Day 11

 A Month of Giving Thanks.  Day 11. November 11.

Today is Veteran's Day.

I am thankful for members of my family who are veterans or current active duty service members.  My father, two uncles, my husband, my father-in-law, my son.

I don't have photos of all these brave men.  But here is my father and my son.

my husband in Vietnam (obviously not a fun place to be)

Day 10

 A Month of Giving Thanks.  November 10.  Day 10.

Today I am thankful for the beauty of SNOW.  Our first snow of the season, about an inch.  Of course, by now it is all melted.  But The Professor and I had to make a quick trip to the beekeepers' store to grab a couple of things that our bees will need to stay warm over winter.  Our drive took us through rural areas and of course through wooded areas.  It was beautiful!

Day 9

 A Month of Thankfulness.  November 9.  Day 9.

I am thankful for a warm, safe and secure home.  Tonight, as I write this, it is snowing.  A warm place to live is a true blessing.  (full disclosure:  this photo is not from today [it is 2022], but it may look like this tomorrow...)

November 8

 A Month of Thankfulness.

Day 8.  November 8.  I am thankful for trees with beautiful autumn leaves.

November 7, Friday Fave Fives

 Day 7 of my Month of Thankfulness.  Today I will actually have five things I am thankful for, all from this past week.  Every Friday all year, Susanne hosts people who want to share their blessings from the week; it's Friday Fave Fives.

Here are my faves from this first week of November.

1.  One morning, The Professor and I drove down to a town south of us where there was an event to recycle electronics.  So we were able to safely dispose of old phones, laptops, and tablets.

2.  On the way home, we decided to take a road that we haven't taken before.  The views were amazing!  And there were barns!  Here are two of them that I managed to photograph (with my phone because I didn't think to bring my camera).

3.  I've had several days at home because I wasn't feeling well, so I just rested.  I'm thankful I could do that-- just rest.

4.  Yesterday, Nurse Girl and I were invited to tea and knitting with PAL and her mom (Rocket Scientist Girl was at work).  We had a great time!  Earl Grey tea and homemade scones!

5.  If you read my FFFs, you will remember that I asked if anyone could guess what kind of car Nurse Girl owns.  The answer is JEEP! And my fave about that is I got to ride in Mags again today when we drove into the big city and did some winter clothing shopping.

What things happened to you this week that brought a smile to your face or made you thankful?

November 6

 A Month of Thanksgiving.  Day 6.  November 6.

I am thankful for yarn.  Nuff said.
