Thankful Thursday

Happy Thankful Thursday to everyone!

Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses is once again hosting this opportunity to share our thankful thoughts! Thank YOU Rhondi!

Today, I am thankful for the gorgeous fall weather we have been having in Northern California! I know we need rain, but it has been so nice to have the soft autumn sunshine and the glorious sunrises & sunsets! I took this photo off our back deck yesterday morning.

...and in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD...Exodus 16:7

Thankfully, Chris

Update on the Winter Garden

Seems I have been scarce around here for a few days! Just VERY busy!

Let's see: Daughter's birthday last Wednesday, Tupperware FallFest last Friday, Red Hat scrapbooking brunch last Saturday, Church on Sunday, Bible Study wrap-up dinner last night, sister coming for a couple of days tomorrow, my 60th Birthday on Friday, the first of my holiday Zap 'n Wrap Microwave Candy-Making classes on Saturday...I think it is going to be like this until after New Year's day!

I wanted to give you a quick update on the winter garden we (well...actually, my sister) planted about 8 weeks ago.

You can read about the planting and see photos of the method we used HERE. We haven't really experienced "winter" yet, but we did have some chilly days and a few days of rain. I must say, I am impressed! We will definitely be using this tub method next spring! I'll be watching for sales on tubs/file boxes all winter!

Here are a few photos that you can compare to those in the previous post.

Cauliflower:

Cauliflower Close up (isn't it cute?):

Cabbage:

Broccoli & Chard:

Brussels Sprouts & Chard:

My mouth is watering just looking at the pics! These "winter" veggies are all favorites. In fact, I am cutting some chard for dinner this evening...yum!

Cheers! Chris
