Snowy week gratitude...


Due to Presidents' Day and this week's late winter snow some of our normal activities were cancelled. I'm not complaining. This homebody enjoyed a bit of unexpected time off!
****************
Since 2009 I've been counting my blessings thanks to the prompting of Ann Voskamp.
 I continue to count my thanks
piling up gratitude day by day
in my journal.
(and capturing some of my blessings via my camera or iPhone)

  4. It was a very different week last week with the snow and the holiday and so many things around us. Loved the snow - for awhile! Spring is showing signs of arriving soon and I'm ready! Love the photos of your grandboys.
