#GRATEFULVIBES - ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE/WEEKLY THOUGHTS - 27 AUG 2022 - 02 SEP 2022
Good morning, Hive-ians! 😊

Leo the squirrel stopped by several times this week for a snack and chat, and I snapped this shot on one of his visits. 😊

We’ve been baking bread again this week, it’s so nice having fresh bread without having to drive to the store to get it. 😊

A couple of Vultures hanging out in the Crows/Ravens tree. 😊

We’ve had a lot of thick fog here in the mornings this past week. 😊

I think Peace the pigeon is still handsome as he’s going through his molt. Do you agree? 😊

Even Half-Penny stopped by to grab a snack with the pigeons this week. 😊

Tobacco plants have pretty pink flowers on them for our pollinators to enjoy. 😊

Some of our pigeons arriving for breakfast earlier this week. 😊

Our first ever Bottle Gourd started growing this week, that was cool to see and we’re looking forward it and its friends growing big enough to use as birdhouses around our homestead next year. If you’ve ever grown and used Bottle Gourds for birdhouses, please let me know in the comments below, especially if you have any tips/tricks on making them last. 😊

I love coming out each morning and see our Sunflowers filling up more and more, I think they’re so pretty. 😊

My handsome husband went out to the garden, came back in with some nice greens, tomatoes and carrots for a salad and some corn, potatoes, peas, and onions for a nice cooked “garden medley” supper that was quite tasty. We have been very blessed from our gardens this year, it’s our best harvest since we started our garden beds a few years ago. 😊

Little albino caterpillar. I’ve never seen one like this before, does anyone know what type it is, maybe you @papa-pepper? 😊

I made another batch of cinnamon buns on the barbecue this week and remembered the ingredient to make them rise this time, they turned out much better. 😊

Posing pigeon. 😊

Another “garden medley” meal prepared by my handsome husband. 😊

The crows/ravens back in their tree. 😊

Pretty sunset colours behind my favourite tree. 😊

Some of our pigeons keeping me company this morning. 😊

Our dapper puppy dad Dakota was feeling a bit better today and came for a short walk with me this morning. 😊

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! 😊 I’m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. 😊 God bless you all. 😊 Have an awesome week everyone! 😊

Yay! A Half Penny photo! That bread looks wonderful! And your pink tobacco is lovely.
Welcome back lovely lady, thanks for visiting! 😊
I told Half-Penny you'd be happy to see him. I have a little video of me talking to him about you that I'm going to try to get to load into my post on Friday, hopefully it works, if it doesn't, I'll have to load it on YouTube and put the link in the post, so you can see it. 😊
Thank you, I'll tell my handsome husband your thoughts on the bread, he did all the hard work, the measuring, mixing and kneading; I just put on the egg wash and sesame seeds and cooked it on the barbecue. They do come out surprisingly well on the barbecue. This winter I'll be practicing cooking bread on or in the wood stove and I'm hoping they come out as nice. 😊
I didn't realize how pretty tobacco plants were until we grew our first one a few years ago and now I can't imagine not seeing their pink flowers and all the lovely pollinators that frequent them every summer. 😊
Time to go roll out the tortilla dough for supper. Talk to you later. 😊
God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! 😊
Not Smudge again in the first pic, I think...
Nope, that is Leo, a male squirrel. 😊
