Gratefulness..... please join

Hey, that's good, Jane, I'm glad the fog is lifting a bit, I know that feeling.

Your son sounds like a sweet little guy, good for him.

I have just about completely wrapped up outdoor gardening. I have a little kale and some collard greens, leeks, and ripening persimmons and that is about it. It snowed here, just a dusting, last night, it is exceptionally, record-setting, cold across most of continental North America, an early season polar outbreak, so I fear another cold winter. Enjoy the spring garden, Jane. I'm going to get some pots of soil and plant peas, kale, radishes, broccoli, and arugula seeds indoors to use for micro-greens, those are all tasty in salads and are stupid-simple to do.

We have the last of the fall color here, some maples, pears, and a few other things hanging on in reds, yellows, oranges, burgundies. And a few snow flakes. I'm grateful for the seasons. Gotta prep my snow bike this weekend.

I am grateful for:

my care manager,
a fun playdate,
a sunny Saturday (even tho' it was blowing a gale).

I am grateful for new beginnings.
Thankful that I am becoming more responsible.

I'm grateful

For work
For throat lozenges and ibuprofen to relieve some of the pain

I am grateful for:

my T,
my child,
my job,
and for the rain dampening down the pollen and allowing me to breathe easier for a bit.

Jane, if you can get some, try mixing a tablespoon of local raw honey with a teaspoon of freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice and slowly eat it over a few minutes - kind of lick it off the spoon - it soothes a sore throat pretty well. Raw honey is great for a lot of things.
