Friday is here again, time to pause with Susanne and friends at Living to Tell the Story and count the week's blessings. Mine are mostly simple pleasures this week.
1. A grocery delivery snafu that worked out. On Saturday, I stopped to look out the front door window, and noticed a bunch of groceries on our front porch. We hadn't ordered any. The name on the bags wasn't anyone we knew. I called the store, but they said we could keep them--even if they came to pick them back up, they couldn't deliver them to the original customer after the goods had been out of the store's hands. They said they'd send the customer a refund.
Before we brought the groceries in, though, we decided to call one neighbor who knows everyone on the next three streets to see if she knew the name on the bags. While we were doing that, someone pulled up and said she thought the groceries were hers. She turned out to be the granddaughter of one of our neighbors. I'm glad it all worked out okay and she got her stuff without having to order them all over again.
2. Flowers. We had planted wildflowers from seeds, and they are really taking off now! It's so pretty to see them from the kitchen window.
As they were coming up, we weren't sure what was flower and what was weed until they started blooming. So I think some weeds are mixed in there. 🙂 I'm not sure what that tall feathery thing is.
In addition, the planters are filling out nicely. We had planted zinnias from seeds for the first time, and they're coming up well, too, though they haven't bloomed yet.
I'm thankful my husband faithfully keeps everything watered
3. Our first squash. We haven't planted vegetables in many years, but my husband planted yellow squash and tomatoes this year. Both are coming along, and he brought in our first squash today (Thursday).
4. Hummingbirds. We didn't see any even though I put the feeder out several weeks ago. I decided to make a new batch and have seen several now. The wildflowers we planted are supposed to be the kind that attracts them, so hopefully we'll see more.
5. An Apple gift card. I'd had one for some time, but hadn't loaded into my account so it wouldn't get frittered away. I wish Apple and Amazon would let us adjust settings so they don't automatically use gift cards as the first payment option. The Apple gift card can be used for iTunes, and I was able to buy a few songs this week.
How was your week?
