Thankful Thursday

I’m thankful for so many things.  God has been blessing me with a great sense of contentment recently.  It is easy to start getting “want-y” when I look at what other people are doing or have, etc., but God has been reminding me of all the wonderful things He has blessed me with right here, [...]

The end…for this fall at least…

Well, it’s over for this year.  Last weekend (Oct 10-11), it started getting cold enough to warrant frost warnings on the NOAA site for our area.  Husband has been so very helpful– on the 11th, he went out and picked all the tomatoes that were left on the plants, red, not quite red, and green…
