Thankful Thursday

Another week has passed and it’s the day to list a few of my gifts from the good God.

• I am thankful for the languid ladies beginning to bloom in the wildflower garden.
• I am thankful for the rain, because it waters my newly planted garden for me. It saves me from needing to hand water twice a day while I wait for the seeds to sprout. Once the garden is up, if it’s still rainy, I’m not sure I’ll be so thankful, but that’s an issue for another day.
• I’m thankful for my May Day tree. It might be he most beautiful tree in all of Whitehorse and it sits in the middle of my front yard. The window beside my desk looks out on it, and it brings me daily joy. I’d take a picture to show you, but it’s impossible to get far enough away from it to capture the whole in its weepy branches blooming beauty. You will just have to come visit. 
• I’m thankful for jobs for my sons. My son runs his own business doing more or less seasonal work, so each spring we wonder if the work will come in again this year. When the jobs start to roll in, I am thankful, and doubly thankful because he also employs his younger brother.
• I’m thankful for Natalie, who has learned to crawl and stand up to cruise the furniture all in the last week or so. I’m thankful for Amelia, who has learned to smile real smiles, and gained nearly 1 1/2 lbs in her first three weeks. I’m thankful for growing, learning, healthy and happy babies.
