On Thursdays, It Snows

It seems as if on Thursdays, it snows. And I put out my Thankful Thursday post.

Thankful for the much needed moisture to the ground. However, I’ll be doubly thankful when I can say: On Thursdays, it rains.

Not that I haven’t been thankful but the week from last Thursday to this one feels like such a blur making it hard to remember things. I’m sure I’ll leave some things out but I still want to share the good things I do remember.

Perhaps, I’ll start with today and go backward.

Definitely, thankful to have all my family home and safe on this snowy Thursday. And for a home to keep us sheltered from this round of cold, wet weather.

Glad to have easy access to clean, fresh water for laundry, cooking, dish washing, drinking, and watering my too many plants.

Thankful to share this post with whoever is out there reading it as well as the photos. Especially since the computer photo app was not working this morning and I spent a couple hours fixing it. (Go me! Thought for sure I’d have to call technical support aka one of the teenagers but I managed to get it going again.)

Coupons, Gift Cards, and Savings

Happy that I went ahead and splurged on these 3 tiny bud vases in the Target dollar spot (Bullseye playground, I still call the dollar spot though I guess it should be the dollar(s) spot. Thankful for the little coupon which helped me make up my mind. The vases came in handy for the daffodil buds I had to pluck prior to the cold snap moving through.

And I’m thankful for this lavender plant filling our living room with a lovely summery scent. I used a Home Depot gift card from Christmas to “rescue” it from the outdoor garden area (Too soon! I really hope they moved the rest of them indoors last night).

Finally, going back to Monday, I’m so very thankful for the grocery store gas discounts. Since Chiefs season is over, they’ve been using the Sunday temperatures. Forty-four cents off a gallon at least helped a little to offset the current super high prices.

Going Places

Haven’t gone too many places but I am thankful for a reliable car to get me there.

• Out to eat and a game night with friends
• Spotting a great horned owl on the way to J’s lesson
• A bit of alone time in Target and Home Depot
• Mom’s night out and fun catch up during Happy Hour last night

At Home Again

I started the post by giving thanks for a home to shelter us from the storm. However, I think I can count that one twice when so many lack that in this area and across the world.

• The security of monotony, being able to watch tv shows and read books while resting a sore leg
• A stocked, pantry, fridge, and freezer for meals
• The amusement of watching Chelsey, the little gray cat, demand time and attention
• The joy of watching the birds at the feeders
• The luxury of a pajama day (probably why I’m having trouble focusing on this task)

What things are you thankful for today?
