Hi Vickie. :-) (hug)
===========================================

Thankful for the efficacy of severe weather warnings

For sugar free breath mints

Also for classical music on the way to and from work.

Today, I'm thankful for a $20 off coupon for black soil and for knowing someone who knows how to use the word 'efficacy' in a sentence. ^_^

Today I am grateful that our exhibit at the Philadelphia Flower Show is up and I have a week to relax before tearing it down again. :-)

This morning, I am thankful for

GOOGLE. Oh my, what did we do before the Internet?

General Foods International Hazelnut flavored coffee. Good hot OR over ice.

A good supply of plastic forks and knives to use as labels for the daylilies I am digging up today to give to my company's receptionist.

Grateful for both large flake snowfall and 65 degree weather in the same week. Nice to see snow and glad it didn't stick.

I need help on a homework assignment. It's a survey questionnaire on a make believe product. The make believe product is a garden structure with electric solar panels. I have to find 20 people to take it and then write up a report (worth 60 points of the grade) by Thursday this week. Would anyone be interested in helping me out by taking the survey? You don't have to know anything about solar. I need to send the survey out by this weekend in order to get the results back.

Let me know if you are interested.

be happy to, susan

I'll do the survey for you.

Yep !

Count me in,surveys are fun!
Vickie

Thank you very much for volunteering. I sent you all a Dmail of the survey this morning. Let me know if you have any comments on the content.

My D H 's family had a wind charger back in the '40's and I thought it was neat .

today, i am most thankful for:

warm showers after a too-strenuous day in the yard...

multigrain cheerios for dinner...

this GLORIOUS blue...

I am thankful today that my new duties are relatively familiar

that the boss brought us bacon and egg whataburger at 11:30, so i could save my lunch for tomorrow

that the smell of spring is in the air

I'm happy to see all the minor bulbs are blooming - crocus, iris reticulata, snow drops and soon early daffodils & more. Ahhh spring.

I am thankful today for the possibility of rain later in the week. We still need lots of it.

Thankful for mini size Crispy Butterfinger bars. Portion control. :-)

Thankful for dusk-to-dawn porch lights.

Malted milk Whoppers Candy and Chocolate Ovaltine...

Thankful for the end of all my meds and especially the ones that made me sleep all the time . Normal days ahead .
And a D H that put up with nothing for dinner, cuz I couldn't cook .I didn't even care
Yard spray for buggers
Weed spray
Nosey neighbors that drove out of the way to check out progress on building our new porch . Don't like them anyway.
Great enjoyment watching them go by and oogling .
Grateful that they finally cleaned up their trash ,just over my fence .

"nuther pic . It took the E P A , sheriff's dept , health dept . and the HOA to get rid of this stuff . They bought the place last summer while we were home in Ga , and this is what greeted us when we got to our place in Texas, in Nov . Broke my fence too .

Isn't it amazing how much some people don't care? Shesh...glad they finally cleaned it up.

Grateful to all who work to keep our city safe. Especially to the officers who patrol our street at night. I watched them stop 2 men from breaking into a house up the street last night. No one thanks them enough.

I'm thankful I'm in place(financially and with enough space)where I can help a friend.

I'm grateful for the lovely day.

Nothing quite like living next to nightmare neighbors. Glad is it being cleared up.

We are supposed to have big rain tomorrow afternoon. Yea! Easy digging for planting come the weekend. :-)

Same here on the nightmare neighbors.

Thanks everyone for taking my survey. I'm working on writting up the paper for class now. Hope to be done soon.

Hope you got lots of people to help you out, Susan

A wife who can speak medical gobbledygook and get doctors to do what I need done.
A mother who insisted my brothers and I learn how to sew.
A god-daughter who loves to cook and doesn’t mind taking my cooking and dish-washing night. (Jim)

credit unions

Today is rather cool and is supposed to have heavy rains from afternoon through evening. So, I am thankful to have the makings for chicken and dumplings, to have a warm and dry house, and to have spring bulbs opening up with brilliant blues, soft whites, and radiant yellows.

Today, I'm thankful for ideas gotten at home and garden shows. And free seeds.

Today I am thankful for:

The Amaryllis bulb that has bloomed again in its pot 15 months after receiving it. :-D

Fragrance- and dye-free laundry soap and fabric softener.

Dust mops.

...and Flonase! LOL

Sounds like a nice group of women in your life.


Today grateful for DH cooking last night's meal, daffodils in bloom, and a nice walk with the DH through a local botanical garden.

I am grateful to be completely out of the Philadelphia Convention Center. We just got back from hauling about 1500lbs of material in our own truck from our rock garden exhibit at the Philadelphia Flower Show. We had three trucks, a van & a car to haul away the roughly 4000lbs of rocks and materials and 500 plants. Whew!

Tam

LOL :-)

Glad to see you survived and are back on-line. I've heard getting out of a show is a lot more challenge that getting in to set up. In that particular case they were only moving a couple of tables, chairs, signage, and the booth. No rocks or soil involved.

Grateful that the magnolias are blooming today! Usually it's in April so early spring this year.

Packing up from a show is ALWAYS more time-consuming than unpacking is, but moving ROCKS? Oh, my, no wonder you are grateful to be done!
====================================================

Thankful for fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt and the best, sweetest, juiciest tree-ripened pink grapefruit I have ever had in my entire whole life!

For having made myself dig up weedy grass from the front yard yesterday and extend a new daylily bed. Ya-HA!

For keeping my nose out of what is no longer my concern at the office. Yea, me!!

Did I mention its the Rock Garden Society. :-)

I love pink & red grapefruit. One of my favorite fruits. Wonderful to hear you got one right off the tree in its prime!

Tam

Picked your own off of the tree?

Grateful for carpenters coming over to fix attic bracing, magnolias blooming, and for green grass. With all the drought last year everything was pretty brown this winter.

Co-worker spent last week in deep South Texas. Brought some back and shared two with me. Good enough to want me to make the lonnnnnnggg drive down there to get my own! :-)

That reminds me to pick up a coupla bags , and oranges too ! My trees are too small to give enough . Lime , Meyer lemon and Ruby Red grapefruit
Thankful they grow here .

What's not to love about fruit right off of the tree esp citrius.

Grateful that the carpenters are not too loud, that the painter is over tomorrow, and the couple of stuck doors we have should be fixed today.

Thankful that today, when I noticed that I had put on underclothing inside out, it didn't bother me one little bit. :-)
Thankful for Kroger digital coupons and points for gasoline discounts.
Thankful for pre-seasoned diced tomatoes, so all I have to do for dinner is dump the can over linguini and add some cheese.
