I am also so thankful for clean water and the beautiful earth. It is definitely awakening right now. I came back to the forsythia and daffodils blooming just in time for Easter! Most especially I'm thankful for my wonderful friends and my family-- I miss my aunts, uncles and cousins so much and we finally reconnected!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-1018302967755064042014-04-13T12:53:39.878-07:002014-04-13T12:53:39.878-07:00Lovely post!

A portable washer that hooked up to the sink was our first purchase on a credit card. :-)Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-36970920562403732182014-04-11T10:42:20.224-07:002014-04-11T10:42:20.224-07:00All of your favourites make me happy!

They're new to me; I might want to see if I can find those here. Seriously you have done laundry in a river?! I have seen women doing that but have never done it myself. I will try it if there's a chance but for fun, for the experience. Sunshine and water, yes!Hazelhttp://hazelceej.blogspot.com/2014/04/exam-season.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-72597117306663459372014-04-11T09:11:10.676-07:002014-04-11T09:11:10.676-07:00I love Miss Read books, too!

...I love the favorite book idea. How fun is that.<br /><br />You're right to give thanks for the sun even though in our part of the country, it seems like we get more than our share! And clean water! I haven't lived in places where boiling water was required, but having visited several, I do recall coming home and looking gratefully at the water faucet, the shower head, the toilets, the washing machine, even the trash collector!nikkipolanihttp://nikkipolani.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-34113887456242943312014-04-11T03:40:44.092-07:002014-04-11T03:40:44.092-07:00We're saying some big thanks for sunshine here...We're saying some big thanks for sunshine here too! We've had some gray, foggy, rainy days of late... Water... Greenery... washing machines & dishwasher--things we sometimes take for granted, but should celebrate daily! :o) Loved this ode to simple pleasures, Willow! And the Miss Read books are lovely! I read them years ago. Too many books I love--too hard to pick one absolute favorite... LOL!

And yes.....I've lived without a washing machine....for three years when I was single and in an apt I had to go to the laundromat. NO fun at all....although I did spend the time with a book😄<br /><br />I love your list of the basics!!!

Now the "green" I am almost always aware of to be thankful for, since we have so many months without it. Yesterday the last bit of icy snow disappeared from our front lawn and the grass is greening up. So happy to share the books with someone else who loves them!
