Thanks to Susanne for reminding us each Friday to count our blessings and then share them here.
I'm still using the Tulip picture even though Spring seems to be a bit undecided this week. My tulips are beginning to droop a bit too but there's still plenty to be thankful for:
1) We did have enough sunshine on Tuesday to do some tidying in the garden. I put up some fairy lights too and I've ordered a couple of tree shrubs and a couple of lavender plants to fill a gap.
2) Rubbish to the tip. Hubby did this on Wednesday - there wasn't much but it was making the garden look untidy!
3) Wardrobe clear out - I did this on Monday and hopefully a charity will pick up the bags of things I cleared out today. Various charities do roadside collections so I put my 3 bags out this morning. One bag has already disappeared!
4) Efficient library service. The evening book group picked out 3 books at our last meeting to hopefully give us reads for the next couple of months and the library already has copies of all of them. Plus a book I reserved was also there for me to collect this week. I love my library.
5) One of our nephews has just announced that he and his wife are expecting a baby in October. The tribe doesn't stop growing!
Today is feeling quite wintry again - low temperature and quite cloudy. I wish Spring would make up its mind!
Have a good weekend all.
I saw your garden photos in a previous post, and they are inspiring! Yesterday, it was 87 degrees F here, but today barely 50. I’m eager to get out and tidy up our yard, too. And my wardrobe. Ugh! My least favorite task.
ReplyDeleteA new baby! How exciting!
I need to get serious about another closet clean-out, too. I've already started a pile for donation, but there is more work to do. Nothing says "spring" like cleaning out closets and cupboards. Sigh. Congrats on the growing family!! Always sweet! I enjoyed your list, Wendy! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat things here, a new baby in the family would be exciting
ReplyDeleteYour garden is sounding lovely and it sounds like a busy week. Aww! Congratulations to your nephew and his wife.
ReplyDeleteThis weather does need to make it's mind up. It looks sunny and bright out today but it's still cold!
