The past few weeks we have been so very blessed,

and I would like to take a moment to say THANK YOU.

(you can click on the photos below to enlarge them)

We received some extra garden veggies... and I was able to make some chunky spaghetti sauce that was just amazing ( and put some in the freezer). And, when our microwaved suddenly died, and I was trying to figure out how to buy another...a friend mentioned she had an extra one that she was going to put in a sale... and sold it to us (for cheap).

And today, I received a gift of art from a new friend... ((WOW!))

(along with some incredible Bakelite beads I ordered from another friend in Santa Fe).

Today... I am thinking of a friend who is very sick...

it seems like so many folks are down and out at the moment... and we all need to be a bit kinder and gentler...

So I will leave you with thoughts of gratitude and thanks...

hope and blessings for all my friends going through trials...

and positive thoughts for tomorrow.
