May Day! May Day! Come save me from a busy week! At least it wasn't as busy as last week was. I'm posting my Friday Fave Fives for my weekly list of things for which I am thankful. This practice of writing out my blessings every week has become a wonderful habit for me. Thanks to Susanne for faithfully hosting this for years.
1. After last week when eight of the nine evenings (yes, more than a week) were booked, we enjoyed a couple of nights this week with nothing on our calendar. I am thankful for a less busy week.
2. Today has been cold and rainy, but a couple of days this week the weather has been sunny and warm. So The Professor and I were able to be outside working in the gardens. He has been weeding around the five fruit trees to prep them for being fertilized. One project I worked on was preparing an area that used to be a firepit into a garden circle where I want to plant some bright flowers. Maybe this coming week the weather will cooperate so I can plant the seeds.
3. One evening this week, we invited a younger couple to our house for dinner. The four of us have been enjoying dinners together once in a while. We had a great time. Wonderful conversations. And we introduced them to Indonesian food. Yum.
4. I've been knitting a sweater this week (and the past couple of weeks). The body is done and one sleeve. All that's left is one sleeve. When it's finished, I'll post photos. I am thankful for the time this week to be knitting.
5. And I've had some time to read. Right now, I'm going back and forth between two books. Am I the only person who reads more than one book at the same time? I'm just thankful for the time this week to read.
I hope you have had a wonderful First Day of May.
