Ten Things of Thankful: Quietly Springing Ahead

 

A bouquet of multi-colored tulips, with cast-iron bunnies in front

It was another quiet week here, but quiet is good. Here's a list to prove it! 

I'm thankful:

1. The plum tree in the yard is blooming.

2. Hummingbirds are visiting the feeders I recently cleaned and filled.

3. Colorful tulips brighten our space.

4. I found the cute little bunnies in the photo above at the thrift store, and decided they weren't really a "shoe scraper" as the tag said. (Although they would have made the cutest little shoe scraper ever!)

5. I made it through the 3rd week of the couch-to-5K program. I love how gently the program progresses.

6. The scale continues to move in the desired direction. 

7. The temperatures here are pleasant.

8. The landlord's goats are going to have kids sometime soon.

9. Drexel loves the toy banana I got him earlier this year. He brings it to me nearly everyday.

10. John continues to love his job. 

How was your week? Don't forget to set your clock ahead! Be sure to check out the other TToT entries on the Ten Things of Thankful blog!

Six Sentence Story: Twist

  An antique typewriter Each week, Denise at Girlie on the Edge blog posts a prompt word and invites bloggers to come up with a Six Sentence Story. It's a fun challenge for writers, and a delight for readers. Go over to her blog to read what others have written, and feel free to post your own story, too! This week's prompt: twist. ********************************* The kids who moved in next door were big kids--much older than her 3-year-old self--but they might be fun to play with, and as they were coming towards her, the idea of them being new friends seemed at least possible. She was rather shy, but she understood the basics of making friends, so when those neighbors crowded all around her and asked her what her name was, she didn't hesitate to answer.  She thought she had spoken loudly enough, but apparently her shyness got the best of her, because they didn't seem to have heard her.  "Twisty?" they asked, and recognizing she needed to be even louder, she ...

Ten Things of Thankful: Lovely Autumn

I've mentioned before, but it bears repeating, that I love fall.  This week I noticed the following:

Despite what the groundhog predicted, here in my neck of the woods we have been enjoying balmy weather.  I think the nation needs a west coast groundhog to provide the local forecast.  I've spent time in my backyard this week, pruning palms and roses, pulling weeds, and planting raspberries and lilacs.  For those of you still buried in snow, I offer a hopeful glimpse of weather to come:
