Thankful Every Day

The Neighbors Take a Surry Ride

After losing much over the past 3 years, I have learned to be constantly thankful for what I have. Each day I am thankful for:

    *Being able to get out of bed because my body works!
    *My eyesight, good hearing and a lucid mind (for the most part, it works pretty well!)
    *My children – I’ve always been amazed that I have such great kids
    *Enough money to live on – I am not hungry and have plenty of clean water to drink
    *A car that runs and money to put gas in it
    *Decent housing and a fabulous landlord, which means I won’t have to move again for a while
    *My camera and computer, so I can earn a living
    *Friends who care
    *The wonderful answer to prayer that I live where I live and am surrounded by such beauty each day.

And there is so much more.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day, whether you are alone or with a loving family, you too have much to be thankful for.

Demanding Squirrels, A Picture Story

My squirrels are crazy…and bold! Once all the seed they can steal from the birds is gone they come looking for more – even if it means coming inside!

Hello..I need more seeds…

Don’t worry honey, I’ll find a way in..(his wife is in the background)

I see how this door opens…

I sit next to the slider most of the day while working on my laptop at the kitchen table 
and when I hear the scratching at the door this is what I see.

Maybe I could train them to fill the feeders for me.
