Number 1) Thanks for a new contractor, who is in-charge of the next lot of handyman works. The previous handyman ruined the front lawn with insufficient soil prep, resulting in uneven turf. Having said so, all contractors run their own quirky schedules so it may be some time before plans come to fruit.
Number 2) Gratitude for newly acquired tolerance for disturbances.
Number 3) Thankful for a new beginning for someone in a new work project.
Number 4) Grats for face saving grace after rummaging through my handbag for cash to pay a bill. The internet payment suffered a snag.
Number 5) I visited a herbalist.
Number 6) Gratitude to be in the vicinity of a river, to provide the walk, along the river. These are the best photos. Nice to see this bird whose habitat is by the river. It is so light that it can stand on a blade of leaf.
Number 7) Thanks for these terrapins (and maybe tortoises) who have survived in the wild. Many of these began as domestic pets. They got dumped into this river when their former owners gave them up.
Number 8) We went to see treadmills in a showroom. How often do we get to look at these machines? Not often.
Number 9) Thanks for being able to weather January 2026.
Number 10) Thanks for bloggers & readers. Especially the main host, Clark from https://wakefielddoctrine.com , who always has to work hard generating new codes for us to have the linky party every week.
Please join us in celebrating thanks for this week.
tread mills! they have always fascinated me… not sure why, the seeming only surface contradiction perhaps… but then again, how many other forms of exercise equipment also serve as a judgmental statement on life and such
can identify with the lawn problem… but for the last couple of years we’ve given up on the front lawn and let it decide what will flourish and what will not…have had some amazing weeds grow rampant… fun!
(link codes will be arriving in the next day, two at the most… if you have any candidates for a Hostinae/Host, let us know and we’ll include them in our mailing
I hope the herbalist was helpful.
It’s such a shame people don’t know better than to just let their pets go into the wild. I’m glad the terrapins and turtles have survived.
Love #7 – so I guess these little critters are breeding in that stream now… The power of nature…
I seldom carry any cash with me anymore, but maybe I should for those times there are technical troubles. Glad it worked out for you!
Yes, kudos to Clark for serving as host of the TToT!
