Count Your Blessings Monday

Haven't done a Count Your Blessings Monday in quite a while. Marci over at Down On The Farm

hosts Monday Morning Gratitude and I think its a wonderful way to start our week off by counting our blessings.

Grateful for these blessings, in no particular order . . .

finding a second high chair that matches the first one. ( found it at the first antique store we went to)

Life, in all its fullness

My family

My children in law, they are all such fine young people

Grandchildren for the opportunity they give us to share with them the past.

The smell of soil, ready to plant

Seeing rows neatly planted

The wonderful people that have become my friends through blogging.

for love, how incredible it is.

for my health

for living with contentment

for God, always willing to put up with me.

for the way kerosene lamp light transforms a room.

for eggs in a basket

for buds all over my wisteria bushes

for dirty fingernails that came with digging in the earth and planting food.

for cloth diapers hanging on the line.

for seeing neighbors now hanging out clothes to dry.

for giggling like a child over silly jokes with Emery.

for the sign of feathers on the ducklings

for goats

for hope

and faith

for joy and hardships, both teach us much.

for long skirts that transport you back in time

spring flowers

for my sewing machine

for "skyscapes "

for creeks and brooks that babble

for plenty of wood in the house for when its chilly in the morning

for my eyes and ears.

and yes, for blogging !
