Sunflowers always remind me of the amazing beauty God has created on this earth, and how thankful I am for everything He has given to me.
I am thankful for all of you, my friends who come visit me here daily.
I pray you each have a wonderful day today, whether you are celebrating Thanksgiving here in the US or abroad, or just having a wondeful day with loved ones.
Today would have been my mom's 80th birthday.. I miss her.. I thank God for all the flowers in my garden so I can always be reminded of my mom each day!
Blessings to you all!
Patty
ADDING another photo... I was puttering in my garden this afternoon since it's such a gorgeous day... this will probably be my last bouquet of the season.. we'll see.. maybe one more... but I'm sure loving fresh flowers on Thanksgiving!
My mom was a big part of our holidays. I really miss her during holidays but have many wonderful memories of her. Happy Thanksgiving Patty and thanks for all you share.

Thanks Patty, hope you had a Blessed Thanksgiving. Love your flowers, nothing like that here in the East Coast. We might get snow or maybe rain, we never know for sure.
Whatever it is we are still grateful for everything.
