Thankful Thursday

It’s Thankful Thursday hosted by Brian of Brian’s Home. He wants us to post what we’re thankful for.

I think it’s a good thing to do each week. Focus on the positive things in our lives.

Make sure you link up to the Blog Hop at Brian’s Home and get the code to put on your blog. Then visit all the participants.

Today I’m thankful for spring in our neck of the woods. It’s warmer and the spring colors are everywhere. Spring is my favorite of all seasons. I’m doing the happy dance.

    This is beautiful. I was talking to a customer yesterday and she was telling me she saw daffodils poking up out of the ground, a sure sign of spring. I told her about the robin I spotted in my back yard. We cheered for our spring sightings. This morning I woke up and the ground is covered with snow. Mother nature is a cruel lady sometimes…lol

    We are not spring fans until it is almost summer as it is a messy, dirty time with terrible weather, rain, snow, sleet, just ugly but it is what it is. You enjoy your springtime.

      We don’t have that messy here. It’s dry most of the time. Happy Thursday. 🙂

    Memories of Eric and Flynn says:

    We no longer seem to have distinct seasons hers. Thee winter has been very wet and stormy, and apart from 2 or 3 cold snaps it has been much milder than usual. I am hoping that we don’t get any more hard frosts as my Jasmine is flowering already and the magnolia is not far behind.

    Good morning and thank you for hosting the Dr. Seuss Hop!!
    I just returned from a walk (wore too many clothes). It was gorgeous though and lots of serenades from the birds.
    The weather blabbers say it could be 80 by the afternoon. That is way too hot for March. March is a tease she came in like a lamb, no telling how big a roar she’ll make on the way out
    Hugs Cecilia

    I have been at a few blogs where my comments do not appear. I do not have that problem here. Then Kathy told me today my blog was unsecured. Idk what the heck happened I am trying to get to the root of that problem. So weird, can not trust all these sites anymore. Between that and the font changing to mini print at my one blog, it has been a headache. Ah…just in time for sweet dreams, rest and a new day, God willing tomorrow. That scene you shared here made my smile and made me feel so calm. THANKS
