This past week, it has been hot and humid here in Ohio. Too hot to walk most days until late evening. I have spent most of my time inside (more on that topic below). But there have been blessings along the way. Friday Fave Fives is how I share some of them each week. Susanne is our faithful host and she leads us by example. The link takes you to her blog and to where and how you can participate in FFF.
Here are mine.
1. I didn't mention this last week...my bad. Our Fifty-second wedding anniversary. Yes, you read that correctly. 52 years. I am thankful for a faithful husband who has always been through life with me. We were so young fifty-two years ago.
Many of our wedding photos were damaged when they were in storage during the years we lived in Indonesia, but a few escaped the rats.2. Back to current times. We grow old together. Dr. appointments become faves. The Professor had a very encouraging physical therapy assessment. I was able to schedule a quicker than usual appointment to find out why I am having allergic reactions (and to what). I am thankful that we have excellent insurance and options to help us with our health.
3. The Professor is improving and we were able to walk two miles one evening. And the one morning when the temperatures were bearable, we enjoyed a shorter walk with our Nurse Girl (younger daughter) and the two granddogs. (According to Nurse Girl, we are the grandpawrents)
4. As I mentioned above, the weather has been so hot and humid. Because of the testing I am undergoing for the allergies, I am not supposed to be exposed much to sun or get all sweaty. So mostly I have been sitting inside reading or knitting. I'm thankful I can stay cool(ish) in the house. And I don't have to weed the garden.
5. My view into the back garden is of potted plants on the patio, and just behind them in the garden bed, sunflowers! The sunflowers are so tall and blooming huge flowers. I love them. The birds love them. (photos taken in the evening after it cooled a bit)
I am thankful for my garden!
