Three Things...Gratitude Thread

Green things...

Fresh herbs. I guess dried herbs, too, because where would cooking be without them, but there is something so refreshing about fresh herbs.

Money. While we have never truly been without, we've also been in the position of not having enough money for basics. While we aren't in the category of having money to spend willy-nilly (for example, there are no new cars here or multi-week long trips to Disney) we have enough income and savings to know that we can weather the occasional emergency (like this week's $2500 car repair) without having to resort to ramen noodles for dinner for the next month.

The color green itself. For a long, long time it was my favorite color, including all its shades. Right now my favorite color family is probably purple, but I still love green.

Good Sunday Morning!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

#1 - Palm Trees - I love looking at the palm trees in Florida

#2 - Money - I’m always grateful to have some cash in my wallet.

#3 - Olive Green Eyeliner - I wear this a lot, especially on vacation when I don’t wear eyeshadow. My eyes are green, so the eyeliner always looks great.

Christmas trees. My favorite time of year. Extra quiet peace of hope and Miracles.

The color green has always been my favorite color along with light pink. Pink and Green are colors of Spring, my favorite season. Easter miracle. Renewal.

Dad when I was little made up stories for me about two young girls named Pink Pink and Green Green. I have no memory sadly of actual stories just that out of love, dad, created them for me.

Seconding green trees and enough money, and adding the green placemats the guys found in the storage closet for yesterday's fundraiser event (so we didn't need to buy any!)

Mission Space Green- I’ve ridden orange once and that was plenty. DH and the kids still like orange. The green side at least gives me something fun to do so I’m not just sitting on a bench doing nothing.

Green Island- Growing up, we had this little house down the shore in an area called Green Island. It wasn’t very green with all of the houses, but I guess the water in all of the lagoons was pretty green. It was nice to have a little place like this for summer, aquatic and fishing/crabbing activities.

Avocados- I was leaning towards veggies and herbs, but I just saw an avocado commercial and I’m regretting not buying any. I could go for some guac!

1. Green grass - DH is the turf department manager at the company we work for, so he' is always talking about people's lawns and he is super picky about ours, so it always looks super nice. He mowed for the first time yesterday!

2. My SisIL used to have a green kitchen and I always loved it. Mine was always blue, but I loved her country green kitchen.

3. The fake plants throughout my house. When we moved in here, I paid a lady to come decorate my house. She bought us a bunch of fake plants. They are very nice and I really love having them throughout the house. They add a lot of color that I never had before!

I hope all of you are having a happy Sunday. I thought of a few more "greens." My eyes! I have green (hazel but greener than brown) eyes just like my beloved late grandmother except hers I believe where more brown than green. As a kid I liked green lifesavers and green Jell-O. I tend to gravitate toward green as a background color of cardstock paper for seasonal home-made signs. When I enjoyed eating ice cream, Thrifty's green mint n chip was a favorite

1. Maternal grandmother- she had an F name.
2. Florida- While I hated moving there in the early 90s and didn't enjoy living there after college, it's a nice place to visit, it's home to places I love like Disney- Sanibel- Islamorada- Key West- Homosassa- St. Pete, and it's where my parents and brother's family all live.
3. Freezers- I can't imagine what it would be like without the ability to freeze foods and keep fully frozen ice packs on hand. Ice storage and production is also pretty nice.

Fathers is a good one!

I can't believe I forgot this...Fine Feathered Friends!

We noticed a nest built in our breezeway, but there's been no out of the ordinary activity. I got on a ladder over the weekend to take it down, but it seemed too heavy to be just leaves and pine needles. I (gently) took a twig to poke around in there and there was movement. I took a picture and realized I was being watched. I don't like being up on ladders for too long, so I skipped the big camera and only played around with my phone camera settings. It's grainy, but I see at least five baby birds in there. I decided to take an older security camera and placed it in direct view of the nest. It has no sound, but it's been fun watching the parents feed the babies and I should get a front row seat for them growing up and leaving the nest.

Oh - they're just precious!! Thank you so much for taking the time to set up the camera sharing the pics and video.

You're very welcome! I'm going to try and do daily video montages, simply because I've never monitored a nest like this before. It's only 10:45am here and there have been 8 feedings so far today.
