SUNFLOWERS - What I'm Thankful for Today#15

What I'm Thankful for Today #15 - SUNFLOWERS

About ten years ago I did a series called "365 Days of Being THANKFUL".  Everyday I posted something for which I was thankful and I did this for 365 days.  Well, this year I decided to do a smaller version of that series and post something everyday during the month of November.

Today I am thankful for SUNFLOWERS.

The sunflower is my favorite type of flower.  Not only are they stunningly beautiful but they also remind me of Jesus.  Sunflowers always turn towards the sun - you can literally see them gently turning throughout the day to follow the sun.  To be very clear - I am NOT a "sun" worshiper.  However, I am a "Son" worshiper:  Jesus Christ The Son of God and I strive every day to grow and turn towards Him in every aspect of my life.

The following are some of my favorite sunflower posts

DOGS - What I'm Thankful for Today#14

What I'm Thankful for Today #14 - DOGS

About ten years ago I did a series called "365 Days of Being THANKFUL".  Everyday I posted something for which I was thankful and I did this for 365 days.  Well, this year I decided to do a smaller version of that series and post something everyday during the month of November.

Today I am thankful for DOGS.

"They" (whoever "they" are) say that you're either a cat person or a dog person.  As I said yesterday - I am both.  We are large-breed people but all dogs are precious.  My husband & I have had two dogs during our marriage:

COACH - was a Collie St. Bernard mix.

GOURDON - was a pure breed Great Pyrenees

(both were rescue dogs)

HERBS - What I'm Thankful for Today#11

What I'm Thankful for Today #11 - HERBS

About ten years ago I did a series called "365 Days of Being THANKFUL".  Everyday I posted something for which I was thankful and I did this for 365 days.  Well, this year I decided to do a smaller version of that series and post something everyday during the month of November.

Today I am thankful for HERBS.

"Herbs" can be the leaf of the plant, the seed, the flower or the root.  There are three types of herbs that I grow:

1.  Culinary - dill, basil (Genovese, lemon & Holy basil), chives, thyme, parsley,

                    oregano (which can also be medicinal), mint (traditional, spearmint & chocolate mint), sage, cilantro and fennel. 

2.  Aroma - lavender, southernwood, costmary and lemon balm.

3.  Medicinal - echinacea, burdock, stevia and coffee chicory.
