Friday's thoughts


I'm missing them already.  The flowers and the fluttering pretties.


 The good news is that there is beauty to behold
in every season if we just look for it.


There are smiles waiting to happen around every corner.


 I'm looking forward to seeing the birds at the feeders.

If this big boy and his sister, who mostly live outside, doesn't keep
them away.  They come in downstairs at night and we let them
play with Stormy and Peanut.

 
Speaking of Peanut...she's the reason I hurt my right hand.
Did I mention that I had to have a ring cut off because my
fingers were so swollen?  I did have my hand x-rayed and, thankfully, no hairline fractures or breaks were found.  It has been very painful and the swelling hasn't gone completely away.  I have not been able to use that hand as I'd like.  It has put a damper on my cleaning projects since it's hard to grip anything.  Doctor said it may take weeks to get back to normal.  Such is life, it could be worse!   I can still get out and go and that is what I've been doing.
How has your week been?
   
Until next time...

  3. Sorry about the hand, Cheryl, at least you will have an excuse for not chasing the dust bunnies away. I pray for a quick recovery. I never knew how much I used my hands until one got out of commission!
    You are so right there is beauty in every season we just have to go looking for them, i am thankful that I lIve where we have the four seasons, it seems I appreciate them so much more because just about the time I tire of one the other is fresh and anew.
    Thanks for sharing, it is so nice to be able to visit again.
    Enjoy your weekend and may you have a most blessed Thanksgiving.
    Blessings,
    Sue

  4. Yes, there is great beauty in each season. I loved your pictures and I know that you live in a beautiful area. The pictures of the cats are adorable. The gray one is just like one I had when I was in High School. My husband gave him to me. This cat gave me comfort when my husband served his mission for 2 years for our church. We were not married then.
    I do hope that you hand heals quickly. I am glad you can get around; but it is hard to not have your full hand function.
    Blessings and Prayers for you!

  5. Did the cat scratch you? Oh my...it doesn't sound at all pleasant to have to have your ring cut off. Not your wedding ring I hope!

    Beauty everywhere even in the frost patterns, though I am very much missing my flowers.

  6. You are so right about each season having it's own beauty. That is one thing that has been brought to my attention more since I began blogging.
    So sorry to hear about your hand. It must be frustrating, especially at this busy time of the year. I hope it won't be much longer until things are back to normal.

  13. Oh My... Didn't realize that you had to have your ring cut off... That happened to my Mom once when I was a little girl. Like you, she didn't break anything ---but the finger was really swollen.

    We've been doing the final cleanup in our yard this week. 99% of the leaves are down and GONE... Now--winter can come!!!!!

    Have a great weekend.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  16. Cheryl, we just need reminders to look around and your pictures help us do that.

    That picture of the woodpecker is especially good.

    Glad to hear the hand is better. It does take a very long time for things to get back to normal.

    Hope it doesn't interfere with your Thanksgiving dinner.

  20. What's the story behind the hand issue, please?

    Also please, do what the docs suggest. So it will get alllllll better.

    Luckily, I seem to flow into each Season. And enjoy each Season. I'm very glad that I do. I'd not want to be a person, who is only happy in one season, or something. A person who is always waiting for one season to arrive. Etc. Just me!

  21. I am missing sitting on my porch more than anything, I think...but I liked to be out there to see all the flutterbys, etc.

    All I can say is we go through a lot for our kitties...I seldom get to sleep the night through because Bubbie always comes in there and meows and wants me to move over till he can lay beside me and me pet him.

    Then he and Puss Puss want me up to let them out, lots of times before daylight is here for good. But I love them...and they love us so all is good when all is said and done as far as they are concerned.
