Ten Things of Thankful

Through Rain, Hail, Sleet, or Snow

Yesterday, we experienced all four seasons in one day.

The temperature got up into the upper 60s, but the wind was ferocious and blew in thunderstorms, a tornado threat, and then freezing rain, sleet, and snow.

Very funny, Mother Nature!

The weather is going to be erratic and wildly unpleasant for a large swath of the US over the next couple of days, so if you are affected, then what better time to snuggle under a blanket and tap out a Ten Things of Thankful? If you are somewhere enjoying delightful weather, then go ahead and gloat. We can live vicariously through you.

I'm thankful for:

blue skies

sunny days, even if they're cold

melting snow

singing birds

just enough warmth to open the sun roof in the car

ice tea tasting like ice tea again (thanks, Covid)

"just checking on you" texts from friends

nightgowns with pockets

Pandora lullaby station

Hershey kisses for when you just need a little something sweet

It Done Got Me

Y'all.

Despite all my precautions, I tested positive for Covid last weekend, and it has been a little rough! I didn't get around to visit posts, let alone write one of my own, but I'm hoping I'll make it this weekend.

In the meantime, stay safe! Wear your mask. Get vaccinated and boosted, if you haven't already. Minimize peopling. And join us at the Ten Things of Thankful hop this weekend!

I Did It In The Dark

It’s 1 am. Forgot to write a little post for linking up this weekend, so since I can’t sleep anyway, why not do it the hard way and write it on my phone…?

I’m thankful for my iPhone, even as old and crappy as mine is. Can you just imagine doing this on a flip phone?

By the way, too lazy to put on my glasses as I struggle with this in the dark. How am I doing?

Writing your post will be a lot easier than my experience tonight. Try it and see!

This weekend’s Ten Things of Thankful is liiiiive.

Guess What's Coming?

The temperature tonight is going down to 7ºF here*. That is not a thankful.

Know what IS a thankful?

Spring is only TWO MONTHS AWAY!!!

Daffodils. Forsythia. Crocuses. Dogwood. GRASS.

Two. Months. Away.

If that doesn't make you thankful, I don't know what does.

Sooo, if it doesn't, well, what DOES? Let me know! I have to know what's better than the prospect of spring! Write 'em, post 'em, link 'em. We're here all weekend.

*it took me a stupid long time to figure out how to type that degree symbol....

A Good Day To Start A Great Thing

Welcome to the first Ten Things of Thankful blog hop of 2022!

Isn't this the BEST time for you to take a few minutes to jot down a week's worth of thankfuls and link them up with us? Because, in spite of a week of snow or ice or freezing temps or going back to work after the holidays or Covid, there are thankfuls in your world as well. For example:

~there was only about an inch of snow

~no ice under the snow!

~my Walmart snow boots kept my feet toasty warm

~as hard as it was to go back to work, seeing those sweet faces of my kiddos eased the pain

Okay, now it's YOUR turn. Link up your post with us and hop on over to visit the other posts as well. This weekend's Ten Things of Thankful is ready. Are you?
