Today I am thankful for...
~a yard full of natural joys. (The chipmunks, rabbits, and groundhogs are not included in that sentiment today.)
~a lovely evening by the lake (pond) with friends and a happy little babe in the water.
~a blooming bush full of big blue hydrangea blossoms. I am sharing one too many pictures here, but I absolutely love them. I have had this bush for over 5 years and it never bloomed until last year, when I got a whopping two flower heads, so I wasn't expecting much for this year, but then saw that the bush was covered with buds. For the flowers at my father's memorial service, I picked blue and cream hydrangea blossoms from my Mom's garden. She has a green thumb and her flowers are beautiful. When I arrived back home to my own garden, I was amazed to discover that my own bush was in full bloom, in almost the exact same colors. I'm not a believer in miracles, but I took that as some sort of sign.
What are you thankful for today?
