Some of my gratitude today

 Thankful Thursday.

Boy do I have a lot to be thankful for this  week!

Medical care! Whew, what a lot of people worked to help me get better! Impressive!

Friends and relatives...oh yes, they have kept me going (including you, dear bloggers!)

Fly like an Eagle, clay puzzle wall art by Barbara Rogers, (c. 2015)


Tunnel Road, Asheville NC (my photo)



View of my front porch last year. This year I've given away some of those pots, and backed out of caring for so many plants.

It’s that knife-edge of uncertainty where we come alive to our truest power.

  3. Good for you. I like your personal photos today. Your porch and plants looked great. I imagine it still does with fewer plants.

  4. Small things keep us going. Love seeing your plants. Growing things lift us up.
    I am beginning to organize how and where I will winter over all my plants, particularly my ever expanding aloe plantation!
    Modern medicine is a wonderful thing, thanks to a lot of hard work by those who find new solutions to old problems.

    1. Yes, we are all thinking of what can come inside for the winter, to keep our air fresh and provide some green and bits of color. I've nursed an Amarillo through the summer, so need to tuck it into cold for a while soon.

  6. I agree on the marvelous teams we get! I had surgery this year and was tended by many professionals, working seamlessly together, amazing, and it's why we do well when we do well. I'm glad you had that care, too. I wish everyone did.

  12. There is always something to be grateful for. When I was a kid every time we drove through a tunnel, I tried to hold my breath to see if I could make it all the way. I never could. :)
