As usual I’m joining with Emily of Ms Emily’s Home for Full-Grown Nerds (note her new blog) and others for Three Things Thursday. As she says…
*three things that make me smile: an exercise in gratitude – feel free to steal this idea with wild abandon and fill your blog with the happy*
I’m finding words difficult this week (you may have noticed the lack of posts) so it’s mainly pictures
First, blankets made for Knit for Peace and Sixty Million Trebles. My mum made the blue bordered one and I made the others:
Second, how readily my mum uses technology…

If you’d told her 20 years ago she’d be doing this, I don’t think she would have believed you!
Third, stores of food…

Just a small fraction of the apple harvest
So, those are three things making me smile this week – what about you?

I am grateful for our wood burning stove, Christmas coming and plans being made and my poetry group.

/ November 10, 2016I’m grateful my sore elbow is slowly getting better, that the acacia tree beside the house is back in full leaf (we need the shade), and that I don’t live in the USA…

/ November 11, 2016I understand how difficult words are this week, but you are right to point out how we have so much to be grateful for. Your Mum is truely wonderful. We tried to get my mum connected, but she wasn’t really interested…..too busy gardening, doing crosswords and meeting friends for coffee maybe?!
