A person however learned and qualified in his life's work, in whom gratitude is absent, is devoid of that beauty of character which makes personality fragrant.

ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better.
hi Andrea Dawn,
ReplyDeletei have seen you over at Craig's, and i saw you on the link today at Ann's, so just stopping by to see your list.
a beautiful list..i liked a brave little cherry, and pressing on to 1,000 gifts. at times it is difficult. i find myself fickle and uncommitted and this leads me to behold God's great faithfulness. i also liked--really liked--your picture of the special tonic. beautiful morning light and shadows.
blessings in His grace,
Nacole
...and your mention of pomegranates! Yes!
ReplyDeleteDear Shoshi has a tree of them in her yard, a very fruitful tree! That and lemons are her favourite foods and what trees did the Lord have planted for her when she moved to South Africa? Yup! and a few others for extra joy...lime and orange and peach...
I also just picked my last cherry tomato... frost is here in the mornings now so the garden is harvested and resting.
I am glad your tonic is working; I threw a piece of ginger root in my fresh carrot/apple juice this morning. (my tonic)
Love your "halfway mark", your lady bug, your web, and that you are going natural :)
LOVE your photos, always, and your gratitude!
you are a fragrant perfume to us, dear friend...
