Welcome to the Homestead Blog Hop!

Here we are at Wednesday again.

I can tell you several things right off the bat that I’m sitting here feeling thankful for.

Outside our window are scarlet tanagers singing away! I rarely ever see them, but hearing them is pretty amazing.

Roses. My Knock-Out rose bush has grown into a monster, and currently it’s loaded with bright pink blooms! I think I’ll go harvest some petals to make into oils.

I found a pomegranate plant! Several years ago, I planted it for Greg’s birthday, then the briars and weeds covered it up so much that I thought it had died! Yesterday I cleaned all around it, and now we will wait for it to grow!

So these are all blessings from nature. I find that if I look, I can always find something neat outside.

Do you have any things you are grateful for? Why not share them?

One more nature favorite:

Have a great day!
