 A wonderful/busy summer

Horseback riding

I'm grateful for the summer we enjoyed and for the Lord's many good gifts to us.

Gratitude... It's Been A Long Time!

It has been a long time since I wrote out a list of gratitude. My blog has taken to the back burner, but I have had thoughts of gratitude still!! So I decided to join in today!   So this is just a mixture of random things I'm grateful for today.  :)

A tired toddler

The smell of flowering trees
(we went for a walk recently and I so enjoyed the smells of the flowers on the different trees as we walked by) 

Seeing my children happily riding their bikes
Stroller to push the young ones in
Scooters
Birds singing praise to their Maker
Lush green forests 

A beautiful stormy sky

Nursing baby
Ticklish little feet
Chubby hands 
Tiny teeth
Baby hugs
Baby kisses

Sweet Chubbiness

Peaceful naps

Hanging floral baskets
Bumble bees
Humming birds
 Growing garden weeds and all
Weeding 

Fresh strawberries

Fresh jam
Sprinklers
Rain
Nearing the end of school books
Red pens
Sharp pencils
Erasers
Neat penmanship
Fence posts

Blessings to you and thank the Lord for His goodness.  :)
