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 all the things that summer brings. It won’t be long and the nights will turn chilly and autumn will creep into our world. I’m not ready for that yet.

    • Many do enjoy all the seasons. I love them all but winter I could kick to the curb. 🙂

  1. We are thankful our summer has been cool, and we already have nights in the 50’s, ideal for sleeping. Some like it hot, some do not, and we do not. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

    • Lucky you. I don’t mind cool. It’s the cold that I don’t like. 🙂

    • My granddaughter loves the cold weather. I don’t one bit. You have a super day too, Marg. 🙂

    • Hot is one thing, but when you add the humidity it’s unbearable. I visited Texas one summer. Yikes. 🙂

    • I’m not a fan of cold weather. Not one bit. Thanks for co-hosting Thankful Thursday. 🙂

  2. I love summer, even the heat when it means we can be chill on our days and nights. Some rain right now would definitely be nice though.

    Have a great one!

    • Yes on the rain and if the temperature never got over 90 I would be happy to have that all year long. Need the rain and I’ll opt for rain at night. 🙂

  3. I can’t wait for fall. It just doesn’t last long enough before Old Man Winter whips in.

    • I know it’s hot there, Kismet. I wouldn’t like it that hot. 🙂

    Same here! Summers always fly by and winters drag on and on. We love hanging out on the back deck, especially, watching the birds, chipmunks and squirrels. Have a happy rest of the summer, Sandee!

    • Yes, winters do drag on and on. I’m a fair weather kind of gal. 🙂

    • Spring and fall are nice, but with fall I know winter is coming. 🙂

  6. If I had the money and the courage I would seek out someplace that had 80-90 degree temps with low humidity to live year round and not just for 3 months.

    • I hear you, Jan. I would do the same. Perfect weather. It can rain at night to keep things green. 🙂

    Enjoy all the special things summer has to offer.

    • I do too and all the great weather to get out and about. Especially boating. 🙂

    • Yes it does and all the fresh fruit too. You have a great day too, Ellen. 🙂

  8. I don’t think too many people are ready for summer to leave, as it seems it has just arrived, at least to me!

    • I’m sure not ready for summer to end, but it’s about to. 🙂

Now the children are all grown up I’m happiest when I’m out with the dogs or hiking a trail with my camera in hand. My blog is where I like to share photographs showing the wild beauty of Zakynthos that most people don’t get to see, recipes and other seemingly random things that come to mind.

    Hi Sandee, I really want a colourful beach chair like the one in your photo now! That is so jolly. Not so sure about the ice cream though. Right now I have to admit that I am looking forward to the temperatures dropping, if only a little bit. It’s been a long hot summer… My sister and her family left today and as sad as I am I am grateful they were able to come for two weeks. Who knows when we will see them again?
    xx

    • I’m glad you had a nice visit with your sister and family. That’s wonderful. Enjoy your quiet time now that everyone is gone. 🙂

    • Spring is my favorite season. I enjoy parts of all the seasons though. 🙂

    I’m just the opposite…I am thankful that autumn SOON will be creeping into our world!!!!! Love you! xoxoxo

    • Many love fall. I do enjoy the cooler weather for sure. Love you too. 🙂

  11. I spent a good chunk of my day today at the zoo…that’s surely a summertime treat!

    Thankful for the summertime!

    • Me too, Bette. I was hot yesterday though. Hope it’s cooler today. Off on a cruise to a yacht club. 🙂

        Enjoy your journey, Sandee… 70s and low humidity here in Maine today with predictions for more of this sensational summer weather. 🙂

    • I love fall too, but right behind fall is old man winter. 🙂

    Autumn is my favorite time of year, and with the really hot temperatures we have had this summer, I am looking forward to it. I have really been wanting ice cream, though, and that photo you posted reminded me. Hugs, Janet and purrs from the boys.

    • I hope you and yours have the best autumn ever. Hug to you and lots of lovies and scritches to the boys. 🙂

  15. Oh My Goodness, I love the colorful share you have. I am learning to get this straight. I am all ready for Feline zfriday too. The photo I accidentally put on Thankful Thursday belongs there. You know I mean well. Have a great weekend. HUGS xo

    • I can’t remove that one, because it belongs to Brian, but I know how to put it on Feline Friday. I’ll do just that. Hugs back, my friend. 🙂

    • Ice cream is always a treat. We have four seasons here, but winter and summer and the most profound. 🙂

    • I know you don’t. You get a lot of hot though. Happy Friday. 🙂

  16. I am not ready for summer to be over yet either! We’re headed into a bout of very fall-like weather now though. I hope summer makes a reappearance still though!

    • It was 101 yesterday and it going to be in the 90s all weekend. Near 100 on Monday. 🙂

    • Yes indeed. Summer has its own wonderfulness. Happy day to you and Ms. Zoe. 🙂

    • Soon, I’d ship you some of this awful heat if I could. It’s way to hot. 🙂
