Sitting out on our deck with my Yankee candle burning before dinner.....
going over the day with my hubby.....remembering our younger
days....

My four wonderful grandchildren, now moving into adulthood...

a slow greeting to our day....

I am grateful this week for a general "lifting of my spirits";
it is so strange and yet so
wonderful when this happens...especially when you
emerge from a long, dark night of the soul.....💙💙

I am joining LeeAnna at Not Afraid of Color for our weekly
gratitudes....
thanks you LA for hosting us each Thursday --

Good Morning, Julierose! Your yard looks so green and growing. Our rain gave way to sun for two days but this morning is very gray and misty, I think it will burn off and be quite warm today. Handsome and beautiful grandchildren. I can almost smell that yankee candle. I have a big vanilla sugar cookie one that someone gave me years ago that I seldom light. I should take it out and set it on my deck and light it on a summer eve. Thank you for sharing Happy Thursday with me ... :-) Pat
ReplyDeleteSo glad that your spirit has been lifted. It is such a refreshing feeling. Your green grass and ferns are just lovely and the sound of rain on a roof is wonderfully soothing. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteHi Julierose! Your grandchildren all look like a nice bunch, and that they get along. Your yard looks so peaceful and lovely, and what a great shot of the rain falling! Oh geez, I haven't burned a candle in ages. I wonder why?!! I need to get them out as I have always enjoyed them. ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteOh your walkway with the ferns and water is gorgeous. Your grands are a good looking bunch. I am envious of your getting to sit and talk about the day and memories.
ReplyDeleteI love sitting out on the porch when it's raining!

ReplyDeleteYou do indeed have a lot to be grateful for. It all looks quite refreshing!
ReplyDeleteyou put it so well, I've had the feeling of spirit lifting. Like a cool cloth on your soul. I love ferns, I miss my dancing fern garden of MD. I like catching up with my husband at the end of the day too. Nice list! LeeAnna
ReplyDeleteThe rain has been lovely to listen to. All good likes!
ReplyDeleteYour photo of the rain and all that green is so lovely! Love all the simple, but sweet things you shared - those are the best parts of life!
