Today, I am thankful for the first cooler day in my garden! I was able to get started with much needed air layering of lanky plants as back ups, and was even able to do some much needed repotting.

And thankful of our newly fenced in yard, I don't have to worry about neighbor's dog getting into my yard.

And I am thankful for the new seedlings that just emerged. They too like this cooler weather.

Thankful that this Adenium has fully recovered from several months of dormancy and constant fighting of stem rot. So glad I didn't give up. Got this repotted out of this temporary clay pot into her permanent pot! Great inspiration for this thread.

I am thankful for a warm house sheltering me from the cool rains and winds outside.

I am thankful that I did not have to go anywhere today out in the tropical storm we are having.

amazing how easy it is to take for granted what we have. If not for the super hot summer months, I would not have noticed how nice cooler weather is! And yes, having a roof over our head, and not having to do errands on bad weather days!

I am thankful for being privileged to live on this beautiful earth.

Thankful for my 4 kids, all decent and loving people.

That's the greatest blessing of all! You raised them well!

Our family does acknowledges what we are thankful for in our nightly prayers and it helps a lot.

Every morning we are thankful for another day of being here and another beautiful cool morning. More desert rose seedlings emerging 🌱 !

the beauty of a sunrise
and
the colors of fall

Today I'm thankful for the much needed early morning rain! I don't have to drag the hose to water my plants.

Today I am thankful for good health!

Tonight, I am thankful for being with my family. And after a long day, I'm thankful for the good dinner and my soft bed. 🙏

pawpaws

a great harvest

What do pawpaws taste like? Are they sweet like mangoes?

yes
they are somewhat unique in taste called an ''Indiana banana''
rather a tropical custard taste, hard to describe but good

A moderate gardening zone and all around weather, generally not extreme.

I'm thankful for soon-to-be-hubby.

I realize he puts up with a lot from me. Especially the past year... I've been a small fraction of myself and going through a lot. It often leads to me being a less-than-delightful person to be around. Though I'm aware of it, it often gets the better of me. He's stood by my side for almost 9 years through thick and thin, and always assures me that he'll always be there. I appreciate him for everything he does, and for the fact he hasn't left me behind when honestly... I'd probably leave myself behind.

Cinda, I searched online and pawpaws do look yummy 😋, although I have not tried one myself.

Sally with you, gardening forecast in our area is ideal this time of the year, and something I am also thankful for.

TK, he sounds like a keeper. Give yourself grace 🥰. If I can talk to my younger self, I would tell my younger self to be kind to myself and give me more slack. I will most likely tell my younger self to not put too much pressure and enjoy life more. Life is a journey that my younger self could have enjoyed more if I didn't work too much to keep pace with what I thought my older self (now) should be. Looking back, what expectations I gave my younger self, my older self doesn't think it is that important anymore. It gave me what I needed in material things but it left me wishing I enjoyed the journey more along the way. Enjoy your time with your soon-to-be hubby when you are together. As the saying goes, "Time is like a river. You cannot touch the same water twice, because the flow that has passed will never pass again. Enjoy every moment of your life."

Updated to Add: I am thankful for the BOGO meal at PDQ shared with family. No cooking 🥘 for me.

We got some (.46)🙏 much needed rain yesterday and the air smells fresh and clean
