Today, I’m thankful for my husband’s patience as I drew and redrew part of the garden plans both inside and outside.
We discovered that our wall on the east side of the garden is not straight; we had measured it along the back of the garden near the fig tree, but it is considerably shorter at the other end of the garden near the house, prompting the necessity of a small redesign.
I’m grateful that my husband was able to find conduit to run wires today to run to the sprinkler boxes and to run to these lampposts. He had to go to multiple stores before he found any, and we were worried that our project would be delayed. What are you grateful for today?
I’m thankful that we redid the garden and I have these beautiful roses! One of my reasons (and there were many) in wanting to relandscape the garden was to put in this particular rose (Desdemona from David Austin). What I didn’t know was that this rose would bloom almost nonstop in my garden, far outperforming…
Today I am thankful for a warm home. It is cold and extremely windy today (winds at 28mph) but inside it is calm and warm, even without the heater running yet. What are you thankful for today?
I am thankful that, at the end of a day where it felt like I was unable to accomplish much, I was able to see several of the good and important things that I did accomplish. What are you thankful for today?
I’m thankful that my current skin cancer check found no cancer this time! Usually, that is not the case. I had surgery in the past for skin cancer (on my head in my part) a little over five years ago, and usually, the doctor finds new cancer on my face each time. I have become…

I am thankful for the kindness and patience of my husband as well. He’s overburdened with everything and being a caretaker doesn’t come easily to him at all. Yet he doesn’t snap at me and still takes care of my needs as I ask. I’m not a very difficult patient, but still there are so many things I just cannot do. Very blessed. Trish
I’m thankful for my teen-aged granddaughter getting full return to activity just this week, after back surgery this summer. Her scoliosis was completely fixed and her ribs that had to be cut into are growing back in correct position. She braved her way through some fierce pain those first few weeks – she’s amazing. I’m also thankful that she was able to see a truly skilled surgeon who uses up-to-date technology and robotics, reducing her recovery time to about half of regular recovery time.
Oh, blessings to her and congratulations on her recovery! Does she follow England’s Princess Eugenie? The Princess had surgery to correct scoliosis and wore the most stunning, low-back wedding dress to proudly showcase her scar. She is a great advocate for scoliosis research and recovery, and recently invited followers to share their stories and photos.
I am grateful for a friend who sent me a lovely card in which she wrote how much she values our friendship. I value it too and have searched out some old photos of us and our families which I’m sure will make her smile.
I, too, am thankful for gorgeous weather in Nov.! I mentioned to my husband that it was too bad we didn’t have a clothesline. (Sent to landfill; a new one next year.) We’re due for several days of warmer weather!
Grateful for some truly lovely weather – especially for November! It is in the 60’s today and supposed to remain at this temperature for the next few days.
So thankful to live near water – both a river and a lake – as I really enjoy walking near water.
I am thankful for the warmer weather here in new england. I am thankful for the lovely local librarians and all the hard work they have put in to be sure folks still have as much access as possible to library materials.
Today I am thankful for a few sweet hours with a dear friend away from husbands and children where we could talk, share ideas and encourage one another in the Word. It was such a sweet time of refreshment and I am so glad that God brought our families together. What a privilege it is to do life together in the season of raising our families.
Thankful for some of my grandkids being together today, they had a great time climbing our giant magnolia tree! My heart was so full watching them play together though are wide age spread.
I have looked into that, but it doesn’t really work in our climate. We only receive 4 centimeters of rain a year on a normal year. Drip irrigation is essential here; even cactus won’t grow without being watered (daily in the summer!)

Thank heavens for patient husbands. They don’t always understand our need for things to be pretty, but they sigh and go along with it. 😀
I am thankful for this warm, sunny day! It’s unusual for November in NYC.

I am thankful for a sunny day and quiet moments raking up the last of the leaves.

Hi Brandy!
Have you thought about turning your garden into a “Permaculture” one? It would give you so much more on a small surface.
I have looked into that, but it doesn’t really work in our climate. We only receive 4 centimeters of rain a year on a normal year. Drip irrigation is essential here; even cactus won’t grow without being watered (daily in the summer!)
