A new Day. A new Friday. And a new Friday Fave Fives (follow the link). Last night, as I pondered what to post today for my five faves, I easily chose two things for which I am thankful. The other three...well, I couldn't think of anything 'special'. Then I realized, Blessings are often simply basic parts of my day. A good reminder.
1. I am thankful for Friday Fave Fives because this weekly 'exercise' helps me stay grounded.
2. I am thankful that I can be out in my garden doing weeding and other jobs to care for my plants. Currently, I am doing a big job of digging out more grape hyacinths from the bed in front of the house. Weeds and bulbs and debris. Even if it doesn't get all done this fall, I still enjoy having my hands in the dirt. And no photos. You really don't want to see what it looks like...
3. My daughter-in-law's sister and a niece are here visiting from Arizona. The main reason is PAL'S upcoming birthday party. While they are here, they are doing many fun things. I joined them on Wednesday for part of a 'coffee shop crawl' that they made up themselves. It was so fun!
4. I am thankful for reading time. Currently, I am reading So Big by Edna Ferber. This is a book that my book group Well Read Mom chose. At first, I was not excited. But as I read more, the more I have enjoyed it. Set in Chicago area, centered around a young woman who ends up marrying a farmer and learning to love farming, it is so much more than that. I won't give any spoilers, just that I am enjoying this book very much.
5. I am loving the cool mornings and mild days of autumn. The leaves are turning beautiful colors. My favorite season! I scrolled through my October photos from other years and remembered how I have loved October in Ohio for the past six years.
