Thankful Thursday

Hi everyone. We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop.

I am thankful for my husband’s green thumb. We have had a lot of cucumber, tomatoes, zucchini, onions and lettuce this summer. And I get to see these beautiful flowers every day. He started the big pots of petunias from seeds back in February.

I skipped the poem this week. The prompt was a bunch of crushed cars and it made me sad. I try to keep the poems funny.

 

Here are the Friendly Fill-Ins for tomorrow. I came up with the first two and my wonderful co-host, Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs came up with second two.

1. __________________________ is a movie I would like to see.
2. _______________________is a museum I would like to visit.
3. I’ve been complimented on my _________.
4. I once got in trouble for _________.

      1. Both! The pots that I give the household filtered water do better than those that get water from the outside tap…I think there might be stuff in there they don’t like…I wish I could have rain barrels to give them all that water instead.

  4. OH, MY, your hubby has a deep flourescent green thumb!!! SO beautiful the flowers. WOW. Tell him to try Tropea sweet onions one season…..so so good and so good in recipes. You can eat them like apples….those cars were sad. Such a waste….

    1. Thank you. 🙂 I will let him know. Right now he grows Patterson because they keep for a year and Alyssa Craig for sweetness. XO

  5. Dearest Ellen,
    Kudos to your husband—that looks very professional!
    Hugs,
    Mariette + Kitties

  6. The flowers are fantastic and don’t we kind of dread the day that comes in the next month or so only have to give them up.

    1. Thank you. 🙂 Yes, that will be sad. We usually move all the pots inside at night for a while until it gets really cold. XO

  7. Beautiful flowers, and I am glad your hubby has a green thumb. My hubby is the same way, and we have many green plants on our balcony that he nurtures and sometimes sells.

  8. Your husband does indeed have a green thumb. He did a wonderful thing there…not only the beauty he nurtured for the family with the flowers he planted but the food he provided as well. I am truly impressed.

  10. Hooray for the bounty and the pretty flowers! 🙂 I borrowed your fill-ins for Sunday. I didn’t think I’d get a chance but found a few minutes to spare this morning to add them to my post.

  14. Charlee: “Ooh, around here it’s Mama who plants things like that. The only thing our Dada plants is cactus. They make nice flowers but you wouldn’t want to eat them.”
    Chaplin: “I would give it a try.”

  16. Those flowers are gorgeous! I’m always so impressed with your garden and what you harvest from it. We got a few pumpkins this year and some tomatoes, but we actually lost most of our stuff to squirrels and bugs. We tried some methods to harmlessly deter the wildlife from our goods, but those methods definitely did not work. Purrs to all of you!

  18. The flowers are beautiful… they make me happy! I love cucumbers. For some reason I find that cucumbers make my crazy stomach feel better and I love to eat them sliced with nothing else.They are calming too.
    Yes, the crushed cars are sad. Good thing you photographed happy flowers!

  19. My cucumbers were a total FLOP this year! I don’t know what went wrong. Last year I had 2 plants and ended up with a dozen cukes. This year I tried FOUR different plants and ended up with ONE dinky cuke!

  20. Your husband sounds like a fabulous gardener, I’d love to be able to grow veggies and fruits here and eat out of our own yard.

    You’re right, the photo was rather sad and so was my poem.

  22. Late this week, chemo then an extra infusion, but have the next week off! I used to grow a lot of veg, but now it is just strawberries in a raised bed and tomatoes and cucumbers in the greenhouse. I am banned from the greenhouse because of my light headedness and dizziness, but if Ivor isn’t around I creep in and do a bit of tidying up. The flowers are looking lovely.

  23. O, the flowers look amazing and the fruit/veggies too. He sure is an expurrt, Ellen. We had seedlings of the petunia too, but Granny drowned them. She gave them water with the can and not with the bottle sprinkler. Besides effurrything drowned too the natural way🙈Thank you for stopping by our bloggie to celebrate our 2nd Gotcha Day with us🎉Double Pawkisses for a happy weekend to all of you🐾😽💞

    1. Yes, they are particular when the seeds first come up. You’re welcome. I would not have missed it. XO

  24. You and your husband make a great team. 😀 Blessings, my dear.

    PS Seeing a vehicular accident even after the fact makes me sad, too. We always wonder about the casualties. Don’t we?
