In no particular order:
TTOT 26 Oct Week 43
1. I’m very thankful that the branch, about the heft of a muscular man’s arm, that fell to ground during Sunday’s storm … missed the greenhouse.
2. Thankful for one sunny day after days of rain and wind that knocked over all my sunflowers. Nature does what nature wants in my garden. The birds and squirrels are enjoying the seeds.
3. A walk in the autumn sunshine, and admiring the paper birch trees in full colour. Collected some of the papery bark on the ground for use later.
4. I am so thankful that he doesn’t care about numbers, says that I’m doing okay, even though my pulmonologist looked like a child who had no ice cream in the freezer. (issues from bad case of Covid 3-years ago)
5. Speaking of the greenhouse, tomatoes are still ripening and seem happy to continue doing so. Thankful not to eat bland-hard-as-a-stone tomatoes from Holland.
6. Thankful for homemade soup that emptied the veg drawer and used up the rest of the ham hock, plus some overnight-soaked lentils, chicken broth, a squirt of paprika paste I bought in Prague, a whole lot of overly ripe tomatoes from the greenhouse, and the rind from a chunk of Parmigiano Reggiano, which I remove prior to serving.
7. A combined flu and Covid jab this morning. Just one hole in my arm instead of the usual two.
8. Thankful that I don’t have to buy more Halloween candy, having resisted the temptation of opening the box to test if they’re edible.
9. Thankful that my youngest granddaughter, Luisa, likes to colour in my (ai) drawings of Brigid and Cerberus that I send her.
10 … and finally, for every last one, but who’s counting.
