3 Gifts of Today


Mine are a harvest of tomatoes early this morning, to put in the freezer for soups and sauces this winter;  spending a couple days off with my husband; and beautiful, warm sunshine. I am enjoying every drop of it we can squeeze out before the cold months creep in.

September Challenge, See the Gifts, Day 10

Gifts Challenge/Joy Dare September 10th

Water moving to create a breathtaking waterfall






 My sweet dog and her happy, wagging tail, and her demanding that we move with her every day by taking her for a walk.







The gift of my body's ability to move.  It can be a gift we take for granted every day, but it truly is a gift if we have the privilege to move.

September Challenge, See the Gifts of Each Day, Day 8

September 8th Joy Dare/Daily Gift challenge

You may have to take some time to really look and think about this joy dare. 


A gift made 

A gift masked 

A gift marveled 


Gifts made would be precious quilts made from my Gram, my mom, and my husband's grandmothers, and beautiful carvings from my dad. 




A masked gift would be a bobwhite quail.  I love listening to their whistle.






To marvel is to be filled with wonder, surprise, or astonishment.  I marvel at the beautiful hand of God each day in sunsets, animals, the formation of clouds, all creation.
