Thankful!

Today I am very thankful for lots of things but especially for the blessing of life!  I have so many things to be thankful for each day.  It is easy to take the everyday things for granted.  I have never done a gratitude journal but there is no time like the present!  Maybe my many (haha) readers will want to join me:)  Enjoy these pictures:

Have a happy day!!!

Sunny Days

A beautiful sunny day!  Harvest is almost over:)  I have some beautiful flowers blooming and am still trying to stay ahead of the weeds.  I also have plans to try and reduce the amount of things we have.  So hopefully it's full steam ahead on getting that job done after our last day of harvest! Here are a few pictures from this summer:

Maybe some cherry pictures next time:)

Rainy Days

Wow!  The last week of June already!  We have been busy keeping up with the cherries and weeding my flower plantings.  There was a beautiful rainbow the other evening which was appropriate with all the rain we have been getting:)  Here are a few pictures:

The last one was a panoramic from my phone.   Have a beautiful day! :)

Memorial Day Thankfulness

I am very thankful to live in a country that has the many freedoms we enjoy. I hope I won't ever take them for granted! As I have heard said "freedom is not free"  because many men and women have given their life to protect our country. I'm thankful for all who have served our country in the military! May we always remember the sacrifices that have been made when we see the red, white, and blue.  God Bless.

Spring is Here!

After a cool spring and some late frosts warmer temps are starting to arrive.  It is still a bit rainy but it is time to plant flowers!  On my walk/run the other evening there were some beautiful lilacs and the smell was so sweet.  Here are a few flower pictures:

Happy Sabbath!

Quilt Blocks

Hello.  A beautiful spring day in Michigan!  Today I am working on quilt projects.  The quilt blocks are ready to be joined together for a small quilt or wall hanging. Although I had always intended to make an Amish quilt with a black background (some of my fabrics are over 25 years old:)  a picture of a quilt with bright color crosses and white background changed my mind.  So I finally have 9 blocks made and will put them together soon.  So the lesson learned is don't give up on a project but also don't be afraid to make some changes!  Hopefully it won't take twenty years to finish!  May you have time to finish your projects:)  Here are some of the blocks:

Happy Spring!

March went fast!  Even in Michigan Spring is in the air.  I saw some beautiful crocuses today and soon forsythia will be blooming:)   I'm also enjoying my inside plant that is blooming today. May you have flowers in your world:)
