Thanksgiving Thirteen

I am thankful for:

1. My husband. He's my hero and a fine man.

My most excellent spouse.

 

2. My family of origin.

 

My niece a few years ago.

3. My friends. I love all of my friends, old and new, and hold them dear.

 

My oldest pal, who would kill me if
she saw this photo up here.

4. Time. I am grateful that I have lived for a half-century.

5. Flowers. Where would the world be without nature's brilliant beauty?

6. Today's feast! (Not really).

These birds roam free on the farm. We don't shoot
turkeys around here.

7. My mentors. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to go to Hollins and met some wonderful and supportive folks.

and yours truly.

8. The wildlife around my home. I am blessed to live in a place where I don't even have to get up from my seat to see cool things.

 

9. My home. I may not have the biggest house on the block, but it is full of love.

 

My house.

10. My husband's family. I've been a part of their lives for 30 years now.

My two handsome nephews.

11. Great art. I think we are all enhanced by the things we create as human beings.

 

Local artwork.

12. Brilliant skies.

A rainbow kisses the earth.

13. Good books and writing. I can't imagine a world without words.

And I am thankful for you, dear reader. Thank you for visiting my blog, reading my thoughts, and looking at my photos. I hope it gives you some small joy.

 

Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here. I've been playing for a while and this is my 321st time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday.
