Throughout the Week I Have Been Thankful For;
-The weather yesterday! We woke up to slightly overcast skies, rain soaked earth, and 50 degree temperatures outside. The high warmed to 70 and the skies cleared (boo, I really love overcastedness), and a cool breeze moved through. It reminded me that my favorite season is just around the corner! It felt so real and so exciting!
- A good surprise visit with friends yesterday that took us away from yard work for a bit (yah!).
- The Best Mail Day Ever!!!!! (P.S., Taryn, I am wearing my new earrings today and I love them even more on!!!)
- The smell and warm hugs of my husband. Cheesy as it may sound he completes me!
- A long and wonderful phone call with my Neesebug (my sister Denise) :)
- A cozy and cheerful knitting group with my favorite knitters on Wednesday night. Complete with local wine!
- Game of Thrones... after finishing Entourage last week I was anxious for another TV series to get engrossed in and it totally delivers nerd style :)
- The way that yarn feels as it turns into a shawl (that is ready to bind off methinks) as the temperatures turn a shade cooler and not as blistering.
- Crockpots! I have been making loads of chicken broth and black beans to freeze for fall and winter and crockpots make it so easy! I can't wait for some local apples to make butter and sauce!
- More lavender drying. I just love the stuff!
- Mums! We bought mums yesterday and planted them in pots around the front door. Just another reminder that the beauty of fall is *this* close!
- Orthodontist free! I was released from my Orthodontist this week. After 4 years in braces in high school and then a second round as an adult to help with my TMJ I am now Orthodontist free (not retainer free mind you as retainers are forever :D
- Water! Clean drinking water, rain water, the feeling of a good shower after a long day of yard work, water!
What have you been thankful for this week?
I love that you love Fall...it's my favourite season (but it's tied with Summer). One day we'll have to hang out in the Fall and do fun Fall-ish things together! :)

Hello Erika,
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful gratitude list this week. :)
So glad you're liking your earrings.
I love my husband's smell too and his hugs of course. :)
A knitting group sounds delightful.
We love crockpots too.
Love, Taryn
