I am thankful for free tickets to a new museum in town, the friend who sent me a link for the tickets, the friend who went with me, and the opportunity to go. It was amazing! We were both really impressed. What are you thankful for today?
I am thankful that I found a way to incorporate leftovers into dinner so that food didn’t go to waste. What are you thankful for today?
I cut a bouquet of flowers from my garden for my mother for her birthday. I cut green onions, parsley, and oregano, lemon verbena, basil, roselle hibiscus, and picked peppers and a zucchini from the garden. I took a daughter to the thrift store to find a pair of red pants for her Halloween costume….
I am thankful for a little boy who was listening at church, even when I thought he wasn’t. I know he was listening, because the speaker said he was grateful for the prayers that had been made on his behalf. My young son whispered to me, “What’s a bee half?” What are you thankful for…
It has been a busy past couple of days and I didn’t post, so today’s post is for three days. I am grateful that I had a small job for someone. It gave me the money to make a small purchase that I was wanting to make. I am grateful that I was able to…
Today I am thankful to have clean water to drink. What are you thankful for today?
I divided a houseplant that I bought earlier this year into three, using empty pots I already had on hand. I put a plant a friend gave me last week into a pot my mom found for me at a garage sale for $2. The same friend has a few trays in her house with…
I harvested eggplant, zucchini, red noodle beans, peppers, lettuce, chives, and parsley from the garden. I cut flowers from the garden to enjoy inside. I put aside items we no longer need for a garage sale. I didn’t have enough items for a sale, but my mom had some items as well, and the community…
I ordered a new pair of glasses for my daughter from Zenni Optical for just under $30, including anti-glare, tax, and shipping. I gave my seven-year-old “new” clothing from a box of clothes I had saved for him from his older brothers. He was wanting a couple of specific things, including a red long-sleeved shirt,…
I cut roses and zinnia from my garden to enjoy inside. As the temperature starts to drop, the roses begin to bloom again in earnest. I sowed seeds in my garden for snow peas and cilantro. I used water leftover in glasses at the end of the day to water houseplants and potted plants outside….
I sowed seeds in the garden for cilantro and snow peas. I harvested basil, oregano, and lemon verbena, and I dried them all to use later. I painted two pots that I have had in my garden for over a decade with a primer plus paint from Rustoleum. They were looking very beaten down from…
I didn’t water on Monday two weeks ago, one of my permitted watering days, because the ground was still wet from the storm we had. Any water saved is a huge savings. I also adjusted my sprinkler clocks to the new watering days (the permitted days are reduced on September 1st). I collected several gallons…
