Thankful Thursday

I thought I'd try a Thankful Thursday post like my favorite blog of all time By Sun and Candlelight. I have gotten so many great ideas from this blog over the years. From organizing to book ideas to tradition suggestions... this woman has it all. When I am feeling less motivated or creative than I want to be I visit her blog and get re-energized. Today I am grateful for her blog.I am thinking of coloring some carnations just like she is, if I can find some at the store.

I am also grateful for all the hard work my family has put in this past few weeks. We have all been putting in extra hours to get the house in order so I can start my next grueling quarter at school. I am taking allot of credits this term because I am close to the end of my studies at Clark and there are still several classes I want to take before I move on to WSU Vancouver. I am most excited for the history and science class I am taking this term. I am also taking a health class, a women's studies class and a math class. See it is a mouthful just to say=) My family knows I may need to spend extra hours studying and they are still supportive. For this I am thankful. Have a great afternoon.

Here is today's hummingbird picture.

A wonderful day

Yesterday I cleaned out my hummingbird feeders and got them hung in new locations. This morning I was a little bummed to read that hummingbirds only stay for the winter in southern states. However, I can tell you the book was wrong! I have seen activity at all three feeders and at least two of the birds were unique. I have pictures of one feeding;-)

I was so excited to look through the kitchen window, while washing dishes, to see a bright green bird feeding. And then the blue feeder is hanging outside my office window. I looked up from my computer and took the pics. What a terrific day:-)
