Thankful and Blessed

Thanksgiving is coming fast!!!!   I am not ready but with Oriental Trading I am getting closer.  I got these adorable "Be Thankful" "Be Joyful" and "Give Thanks" pumpkins that add a fall touch to my living room as they are on the top of the piano.  I really love the messages on them as they bring out the true meaning of the Holiday.   Thanksgiving and truly focussing on all our blessings will bring more joy!  We also are decorating Royal Tea  with these bigger white "Harvest, Fall, and Family" pumpkins.  They have gold writing and they pop in the store!  The trio adds a fun touch inside the new shop.  The new tea shop really needed that extra touch as fall weather is here and helping people get in the mood for a hot cup of tea.  Finally, my kids took turns coloring this placemat.  We got plenty of them to use at our Community Thanksgiving meal.  We have been doing one for 5 years now.  We try to help a...

Garden Newbie Update

Our little harvest... We have a harvest!  :)  WOOT WOOT!  I was happy a few weeks ago when I saw some growth but then I never saw the veggies growing and I was getting worried that nothing was going to grow.   No worries we had some delicious peas that  made it and there are 3 baby cucumbers growing!  I am so thrilled that we have some veggies!  I do not see tomatoes yet but the plant is getting taller and it looks healthy.  I believe the carrots are unsuccessful since I see nothing growing.  Note to self that those are too hard to grow!   :) We are still waiting to see if we will grow a pumpkin or just the really long vines.   It was truly enjoyable to sit on the deck munching on the yummy peas with my family!  Fun! Next year I will plant earlier and find what grows best here.  I am thinking spinach, peas, cucumbers, peppers,and tomatoes.  Any advice for this garden newbie? James 5:7   ESV  ...
