Thankful that I can pretend it's still Monday

Okay. Monday. Time to be thankful. For happy things.

Here go:

1. My tomato plants. Remember my tomato plants?

Here they are when I first planted them in their current container.



And here they are now!
I know it's really late in the season and I might not get any tomatoes from them and if I do, they'll prolly be gross, but I'm really proud that I grew these from seeds.

Also, I have a flower.

No tomatoes yet (or maybe ever), but I'm really happy about this flower.

2. Paint - the painting has not gone as well as I had hoped. We got some tinted primer, but it was really thin and it looked terrible the first time I primed.


But since I am trying to be happy about things, I'll say that I am thankful for second coats.

There. That's a little better.

3. Modern obstetrics - My bro and s-i-l are having a baby in February. I'm super grateful that there are doctors and nurses and midwives who can take care of pregnant ladies and their babies. And I'm glad to know that 'Lil Baby Tiny is doing great. See you in 20 weeks, 'Lil Baby Tiny!

4. The internet. It's strange, I know. But the internet can do some great things. Like help my friend's family find homes for dogs after an unexpected death. That's way cool.

5. Warm days - I know last week I said I was thankful for fall! What gives?! I like the fall weather, but I'm happy to be eased into it by having a few more warm, open-toed shoes days before the cold death of winter.
