ROSES - What I'm Thankful for Today#7

What I'm Thankful for Today #7 - ROSES

About ten years ago I did a series called "365 Days of Being THANKFUL".  Everyday I posted something for which I was thankful and I did this for 365 days.  Well, this year I decided to do a smaller version of that series and post something everyday during the month of November.

Today I am thankful for ROSES.

My dear father was a master rose gardener and he passed away a little over a month ago.  I'm so thankful that I did a short series on this blog featuring some of his roses (you will see links to some of them below).  Also, there is a Christmas song (originally a German song) called "Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming" which is very precious to me (also a link below).

The following are some of my favorite "rose" posts

What I'm Thankful for Today #6 - CRITTERS

About ten years ago I did a series called "365 Days of Being THANKFUL".  Everyday I posted something for which I was thankful and I did this for 365 days.  Well, this year I decided to do a smaller version of that series and post something everyday during the month of November.

Today I am thankful for CRITTERS.

For the most part, the critters (wild animals) that I see in my garden are just adorable.  I do get very frustrated every summer with squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, deer eating our garden produce but I do enjoy watching them scurry around.  The only critter that I absolutely can not tolerate is the groundhog (you will see a post below showing the destruction that the groundhog made in our garden a few years ago).  This struggle with the groundhog has made us more saavy  - we found a row cover that protects our crops against the groundhog.

The following are some of my favorite "critter" posts (and one post showing the groundhog destruction).

Today I am thankful for HAPPINESS.

I was reminded by one of my blogging friends recently, that focusing on what we're thankful for can bring about happiness.  Thankfulness really does lift us out of the dumps.

APPLES - What I'm Thankful for Today#3

What I'm Thankful for Today #3 - APPLES

About ten years ago I did a series called "365 Days of Being THANKFUL".  Everyday I posted something for which I was thankful and I did this for 365 days.  Well, this year I decided to do a smaller version of that series and post something everyday during the month of November.

Today I am thankful for APPLES.

McIntosh & Granny Smith are my favorite apple varieties but they are all very nutritious.  (I'm not a doctor - I'm just listing information that I found online - see my disclaimer below).  Apples can help with the following areas of health:

- helps reduce heart disease

- helps with diabetes

- helps protect against cell damage

- helps with digestion & weight issues

- good for skin health

- helps with bones

- good for hydration
