Thankful. Grateful. Blessed.

hands in dirt - garden thanksIt’s that time of year again when we take time to count our blessings and give thanks for all we have. I am personally trying to do it on a more regular basis!

As a gardener I am thankful for many things: polar fleece, daylight savings time and warm gloves top the list.

I am thankful that I have eyes to see all the beautiful plant material I am blessed to be able to use.

I am thankful that my ears work well enough to hear the birds around me as I garden.

I can also hear when my knees pop when I go up and down but at least they do their job and for that I am thankful.

Ditto for my hands and wrists which get a little sore after too much pruning. But I am thankful for my Felco pruning shears which make the job that much easier.

As I travel far and wide in pursuit of great plant material I am thankful for a car that works. Even if it does, as my kids constantly remind me,  “smell like manure.” 

I’m thankful  for gas that is available and still relatively inexpensive. I should mention, however, that if it ever hits $5 a gallon you will see The Captured Garden on a moped.

I’m thankful for my new GPS which means I will never get lost again – ha, ha.

 I am thankful that I live in a country where I have the freedom to start my own business. Seems like just yesterday The Captured Garden was only a seed of an idea and now it is a real honest-to-goodness business venture. Just ask the IRS! 

Lastly, I am extremely fortunate and blessed to have the greatest clients/friends in the world. I am grateful for each one of you and thank you for the opportunity to work with you.

I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and are surrounded by all that gives you joy.
