{ THANK-full Thursday}



*thankful that one of the three little hummers has finally found the feeder on the window and just sits quietly and drinks while the other two fight it out!  And, he/she seems perfectly content to let me get a foto.....
even kinda poses for me!



*so grateful to be invited to tag along to Dollywood yesterday.....
including free passes.....
to spend the day with several of our Special Friends group from church and their director. We absolutely love these people and are so blessed to be a part of that ministry.

*thankful for the precious Lady who donated money to pay for all of our lunches yesterday. She'll never see this, but I HOPE she does know how much we love her!  Please say a prayer for her and her husband.

*more birdies in the yard.....
actually this time on the porch.
Pray I don't drown the little fellows/gals when I water the fern.

freshly hatched

just like a kiddo.....
mouth wide open wanting to be fed.
(reminds me of our grands.....;-)


*grateful for the wisdom and discernment that can come only from the good Lord because this old brain just ain't functioning on all levels these days!

*sooooooo thankful that I'm "seeing" an improvement in the lines and squiggles in my eye. Thanks to all of you who are praying!

*read this gratitude from another sweet Lady, but I've gotta agree.....
it's such a blessing to have a Dollar General Store just down the hill from our house in such a rural area.....
it's so convenient.
Maybe even a bit too convenient, if you get my drift!!!
 ðŸ˜€

*so thankful to still be getting maters and cukes and peppers from the garden!

*y'all, I'm so thankful and blessed to have  been able to "retire" early.  I know that between that and Pappy losing his job in 2012 and then permanently in 2016, it's been a struggle at times.....
no vacations, cutting out cable and the weekend newspaper and a land line phone.....
but God.....
aren't those amazing words?!?!
He has provided in ways that I could have never even imagined, showing up at just the right time.  I told somebody I'd much rather depend on Him than to think that I'm doing anything on my own.  Plus, I'll never regret all the time I get to spend with our grand-kiddos and being "on-call" when needed.

Okie, dokie.....
I'm gonna stop right there before I write a novel.

Well, except to say.....
life is good, Y'all.....
because God is good!



Happy Thursday, Y'all!

P.S......
If any of you followed the link in the photo I used last week for my Thank-full Thursday, I want to apologize for the site it led you to and the language that was used at the top of the site. I was flabbergasted when I went there and I've since removed the photo from this blog.  Just goes to show that we need to ALWAYS check out the link when we use images from Google.

If you feed them, they will come! Okay, I know that's actually supposed to be "if you build it, they will come" but look at what showed up at the feeders. These sweet little creatures make my heart so happy.....
something I think both my brother and I inherited from our precious Daddy!


A shift in focus.
That sounds like a good topic for a future post!
😊



Taking a breather.....


This one right here thinks he rules the roost.  
He must have found the feeders first and he fights off the others.
Little meanie, he is!






  That's it!
It's all about the hummers today and I can't promise there won't be more because they just fascinate me.

Thanks to everybody who is so faithful to link up each week. I'm sorry that I've been so slack in visiting. Time just  gets away from me these days.

HOPE your Friday is fantastic and you have a wonderful weekend!

{ THANK-full Thursday }

Running really late, but here's my THANK-full post for today.....


*went into Big Lots looking for just the right hummingbird feeder and walked out with just the right hummingbird feeder.....
and, it was marked down!

*so grateful our sweet girl still wants to hang out with her old Mom.  She called this afternoon to ask if I'd like to go somewhere with her Saturday morning.  
"YES"!

*thankful that the little birdies are still building nests around our house.....
except this time it's in my hanging fern. Breathe a little prayer that I don't drown the babies when watering!

*so happy to find some thrift store goodies this week - a couple of "new to me" tops, a skirt and a little mirror.

*I'm so happy that I got both the front and back doors painted this week, something that's been on my "to do" list for quite some time.  Now to get the storm doors spray painted!

*driving through Rocky Valley early this morning.  If you've followed me here very long, you know that's one of my favorite drives!

*and.....
since I don't sleep well....at all....I was so thankful to get to take an over 2 hour nap this afternoon.

{ Friday Foto Friends #46 }



I got out the "good" camera one day this week to get some shots of the hummingbirds.  These little creatures just amaze me. I'm pretty sure these pics are actually of two different ones, but at times I've seen three and Pappy said he'd seen four at one time but we've never had but one feeding at a time because they're very territorial and chase each other away.

Why can't we just all get along?
;-)












My sky pic for the week was taken on our way up to see the kiddos yesterday afternoon.  I didn't even realize when I took it that the hay bales got in the pic.  Do y'all like to see a freshly mowed field with hay bales as much as I do?

Thanks so much to everybody who is so faithful to join in each week, or leave a sweet comment.  
Only 6 more weeks till our 52nd week celebration!

HOPE y'all have a blessed first weekend of fall!

August 1, 2011
This is what I get to look at outside my computer window!!  I hang the hummingbird feeder in the summertime....and the regular bird feeder for the winter so I can watch "my" cardinals!!!
(and, yes, I still have grapevine wreaths hanging in my windows....
I strive to be different...;-)
