Thanksgiving 13

I’m thankful for flowers. I don’t have many in the house right now, just a blooming African violet in the kitchen window that I admire while I’m washing dishes, but usually I have a bouquet or two in the house unless the weather’s too cold to bring flowers home easily. Sometimes youngest daughter buys flowers for me in the Vancouver airport, where they are fresher and cheaper than any I can get here, and flies them home with her. And in the summer, I enjoy all the wildflowers blooming in the woods and all the flowers that grow in my flower beds. 

Flowers are a good gift from our Father, who created a beautiful world for us to enjoy.

Those are gorgeous! I'm surrounded by gourds and ivy and leaves at my house, but the day after Thanksgiving I'll be hauling out the Christmas decorations. I bought a Christmas Cactus this year--I hope it blooms!

That's a beautiful African violet!

Well, if I hadn't misplaced the cable to my camera, those would be a picture of my own African violets. Instead, I downloaded a photo of some that look like mine. :)

Your violets are beautiful! I am attempting to expand my spring/summer flowers to avoid buying flowers. Thanks for sharing. Here is my new blog post--I am most thankful for a dishwasher!
