Ten Things of Thanks for the week that was.

Another weekend. Thanks be to God. I really, really want to tap a nap. And I never take naps.

Not that I’m against them. At all. I used to be a napper of first order. But the older I get — and with nature’s hormonal shift — it’s hard enough for me to sleep at night.

I don’t risk a sleepless night by napping.

So I shall be Ten Things of Thankful for the week that was.

10. This tomato.

I have one tomato plant left from summer in a pot. I picked this yesterday.  I’m thinking a BLT with some lettuce from my garden.

 

9.  My lettuce didn’t freeze the last few nights. So I can have that BLT if I chose.

 

8.  I had to get up at 6 a.m. this morning to get my daughter to school.

Well, it was hard to get up. But saw the prettiest sunrise.

 

7.  My tomato plant is in a pot.

So I could move it and my little peppers — also in a pot — inside the last few below freezing nights.

 

6.  NaBloPoMo.

Though it’s been hard some nights to get a post in — I’m having fun. Getting to know new great bloggers.

 

5.  My BRFs

It was cold this morning. It was windy. But when two friends show up at your door expecting you to get out there and run with them — you head out.

 

4.  A dear friend who texted if she could take a pic of my tree? I’m like what tree?

The only tree I could think of was the maple in our front yard. But it has lost a lot of its leaves. She came and took a pic. And told me how she was driving by and thought it looked so pretty with the leaves on the ground and the late afternoon light.

I now see my tree differently. It is quite lovely.

3.  Husbands who schlep soda cans home from their office, so I can take them in for money to add to my Ronald McDonald House total.

If you’d like to give any amount, I’d be ever so grateful if you click on the FirstGiving link on the sidebar.  🙂

 

2.  Pecans.

After a light year in fall 2013, looks like there are lots of pecans already dropping in our yard. Pies for everyone!

1.  The parts to fix our furnace arrived earlier in the week.

Nuff said.

 

What are you thankful for this second week of November?
