So thankful this morning

This morning I just felt so grateful - so thankful 

for the bright sunshine, 

for the snow that melted yesterday despite the cool temperature,

 for food to eat for breakfast,

 for the blessings of being kept safe yesterday when I slid backward down a steep hill into the deep snow,

 for healthy children,

 for being able to go into town today to shop at the thrift shops and markets to buy food for our family and maybe find a treasure or two,

for the ice cream shop in town opening today for the season,

 for the abundance of our own eggs that are providing us with at least a couple of meals each week which will keep aforementioned food budget down and nourish our bodies,

for the electric line clearing man taking the time to stop by yesterday and let Mike know that he will be cutting at a spot with soooo much birch and he will leave it aside for him instead of chipping it
