Those are such wonderful things to be grateful for. I believe many of us can count some of those as blessings these days. I am glad you are sharing yours. You should link up to my Sunday Blessing Meme. I write it each week.

At this time especially we have to reflect on those things. Stay well and give Romeo a hug for me. He's such a cutie!

Kristina, there is so much to be grateful for isn't there? I prefer to focus on gratitude over mass panic and media sensation. Romeo is a good dog I'm sure, I'm most grateful for the health and happiness of our pets. I'm missing greens lately! But surprisingly my basil plant is still alive, go figure!

Nice to see an uplifting blog like this. With so much on tv the same news over and over again, and not good at all, I turned on the Syrias (sp?) channel 959 which is 50s/60s music in our area and listened to it when I wasn't on the computer or watching tv, and of course, I sang along to the songs I remember the words too. It was fun, for a change.
Several ill in our county. I'm staying home mostly. Bro Tom has to go to work because he works part-time at an Assisted Living home for old folks and also at a grocery store, and both need tended to. He had a long day today, but they were grateful because they got a huge truck of supplies in for the store and the town has been running so low except for that one store where he works. The other major chain hasn't had much for days, so people were getting anxious.
Never seen anything like this in all my 72 years, but have heard of the influenza epidemic of 1918 which took one of our Grandmother's young sons.
We just need to knuckle down and obey the CDC. That's the best we can do.
And pray for one another, diligently.
Dear Lord, raise this scourge from us as only You can, in Christ Jesus name. AMEN!!!
God bless.

RB, agreed. I got tired of all the negative stuff on the TV and wanted to post something positive. Yes, praying for our country.

Rain, Romeo barked at county workers yesterday for hours. He's a good dog for sure. My basil is doing great too, and I plan to dehydrate some of it.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger.

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
