Thankful Thursday

Hi everyone. We are joining Brian’s Thankful Thursday Blog Hop. I am thankful that the girls are loving school so far and they each ended up with their BFF in their class.

Also thankful for the garden continuing to produce wonderful veggies and fruit (watermelon and cantaloupe). We do have a strange pepper plant though- the peppers are all upside down.

 

I skipped the poem yet again this week.

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. I define success by ________________________.
2. _____________________was an awkward moment.
3. I learned to _________ when I was _________ years old.
4. I can only _________ so much _________ before I _________.

  3. It is good that the girls both have a friend in their new class. The peppers are looking good. I have tried growing melons without success. They would probably have done better this year with the hotter late spring and summer we had.

  4. Great news about the girls in school. I remember there were some years I didn’t like going and there were other years that I actually loved it. I guess we all go through those stages.

  6. I’m glad the girls like school. The years I liked the most was when I was in college. Those peppers are big, and I bet they will be delicious.

  8. Good to hear the girls are off to a great start! The peppers might be strange but they are beautiful.

  9. Java Bean: “Ayyy, we love watermelon and cantaloupe too, if you have any spares!”
    Charlee: “You can have it all, Bean. We cats don’t want any.”
    Chaplin: “Our Dada doesn’t like bell peppers, but maybe he would like upside-down bell peppers if they taste the opposite …”

    1. Sorry, you are on the other side of the country so they would be rotten. They taste the same. 🙂

  12. Watermelons and cantaloupe … Wow! Mom wishes she had a garden and could grow those. Too many critters here, however. Mom pulled up a volunteer pumpkin plant from the yard, but if it had any pumpkins growing on it; they were already eaten. Looks like the girls enjoy the same things, which is nice.

  14. My garden is a weed bed this year! At least the strawberries have taken over about 1/2 the space, so it should be OK until next year. Glad to hear that school is going great! My Grand Nephew (6) was so very happy that he gets the same teacher this year that he had last year! Keep being awesome! Barb

  16. OMCs Ellen I do truly know how imPAWtant it is to have a bestie in your class and my daughter always worried she would have to eat lunch alone thankful she didn’t as we all know that is the worst
    Apologies for being late
    I twisted my ankle (really bad) last night. Spent the morning at my doc’s office getting it checked out and xrays
    It is better today and she doesn’t think it is broken. Hope to hear from xrays tomorrow
    Hugs cecilia

    1. I remember eating lunch alone sometimes. Ouch on the ankle- hope it heals quickly. That is a long time for x-ray results. XO

  19. Who cares how the peppers look, if they’re delicious, use ’em!

    I’m glad the girls are with their friends in school classes.

  20. Glad the girls are enjoying school. The peppers are a good size, even if they are growing the wrong way.

  21. Glad the girls are getting off to a great start this school year. Your veggies are quite impressive. Our tummies doesn’t care what veggies look like-it’s the taste that matters most to most!
    Your fur-iend,
    Wilson 🐾
