#GRATEFULVIBES - ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE/WEEKLY THOUGHTS - 05 FEB 2024 - 11 FEB 2024

Good morning, Hive-ians! ๐Ÿ˜Š

My handsome husband and I have decided to learn a new skill, can you guess what it is from this picture? ๐Ÿ˜Š

This one should give it away, if the first one didnโ€™tโ€ฆweโ€™re learning how to weave baskets. This is mine just after I started working on the sides. ๐Ÿ˜Š

He made it look so easy when he was working on his. This is how his finished basket turned out. We both like it and I was going to try and make mine match his, but its proving to be a bit tougher for my fingers than his, so mine hasnโ€™t been finished yetโ€ฆIโ€™ll try to get it done tomorrow, but I needed to do the house cleaning and some baking and Iโ€™m out of energy, so Iโ€™m writing my post instead of finishing it. ๐Ÿ˜Š

My favourite tree always looks so pretty with the setting sun behind her. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Itโ€™s been so nice this week that weโ€™ve been keeping the window in our front door open, so the dogs can run in and out as much as they want. It helped keep the pigeons on their toes whenever they thought about trying to knock all the food out of the feeders and onto the ground inside the dog run. Our pretty grand-puppy Mya had a blast standing right in front of the open window and daring the pigeons to come a little closer. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Have you ever played peek-a-boo with a Blue-Jay? Itโ€™s fun, you should try it. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Our view of Mount Katahdin, over in Maine, USA has been spectacular this week. ๐Ÿ˜Š

We have a first come first served policy here on the homestead. Most days itโ€™s the Ravens that grab the eggs off the posts, but twice this week a few Blue Jays beat them to them. ๐Ÿ˜Š

We went from frost on everything and snow everywhere last week to plus 5 Celsius and grass showing through on our pathways to the garage and barn and gravel showing through on our driveway this week, weโ€™ve not seen a milder winter than this one before, in all the years weโ€™ve lived here. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Pigeons and Snow Buntings coming down for a snack. ๐Ÿ˜Š

Weโ€™ve had a couple of really nice loaves of raisin bread this week. ๐Ÿ˜Š

We did a little greenhouse reorganization in our basement and the plants all seem to approve. ๐Ÿ˜Š
image.png
Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! Iโ€™m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. ๐Ÿ˜Š God bless you all. ๐Ÿ˜Š Have an awesome week everyone! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Welcome back my friend, thanks for visiting! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I will pass the compliment on to my handsome husband, as it's his basket that's been completed...mine is still a work in progress. My hands aren't as strong as his, and I'm working on mine between baking, cleaning, and laundry, so the basket making is taking me a bit longer than him. We're really looking forward to making more of them in the future, too. ๐Ÿ˜Š

It's past my bedtime, so I'll say goodnight for now and chat with you again soon. ๐Ÿ˜Š

God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I was going to guess chair caning but his basket came out beautifully! It looks strong and tight. Glad you have some green showing.

Welcome back lovely lady, thanks for visiting! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I'll pass on the compliment to my handsome husband, he'll appreciate the feedback. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The green is all gone again, the white stuff came back, ugh. LOL! ๐Ÿ˜Š

I've got to go write my blog and get it posted, so I'll chat with you again later. ๐Ÿ˜Š

God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! ๐Ÿ˜Š
