#GRATEFULVIBES - ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE/WEEKLY THOUGHTS - 12 FEB 2024 - 18 FEB 2024

Good morning, Hive-ians! 😊

Mount Katahdin, over in Maine, USA, stood out clearly in our sunsets this week. 😊

It’s been a busy week here on the homestead. I tried to finish my basket and realized that I don’t know how to count rows as well as I thought I did because I put two rows too many in my basket and ran out of the material for around the handle, doh. 😊

This weeks baking included a batch of cinnamon rolls for my handsome husband with raisins in them and a batch without raisins for myself. 😊

My handsome husband said his were perfect. 😊

Mine turned out good enough that I decided they were shareable with our neighbours daughter and sent one over for her to enjoy. 😊

Spectacular sunset. 😊

For our Valentines’ supper I made us a beef roast, veggies, mashed potatoes, and gravy in our Instant Pot, well not the potatoes, they were done in a pot, but the rest was all done in the Instant Pot. It’s a handy cooker to have and makes a tender roast out of the toughest cuts. 😊

Look who returned this week. We love seeing them come back every year. 😊

We’ve only seen 14, so far, and I just accidentally deleted all my pictures...so I guess that means I'm done with this post. LOL. 😊

Well, that was how things have been going for us here. I hope you have all been safe and healthy and have had an amazing week! I’m grateful to God for blessing us with another week to share with you here. 😊 God bless you all. 😊 Have an awesome week everyone! 😊

Geez, I don't like raisins in things either, and I've deleted photos more often than I want to think about. We used to have lots of turkeys here, but I haven't seen any in years. They are around, just not here. :(( Much like the bears...

At least I got to see your basket! It also looks sturdy. Can you get more material to finish the handle?

Welcome back lovely lady, thanks for visiting! 😊

I'm glad I'm not the only one that has done the accidental deletion of photos. I feel like such a nitwit for doing it though. Oh, well, I wasn't meant to keep those pictures apparently. Maybe my next batch will be nicer. 😊

Our flock of turkeys has been coming here every year for the past five or six years now. It's always a treat to see them for us, not so much for our dogs, but they enjoy barking at the turkeys as they walk across our front yard, so I guess we all get enjoyment, in our own way, from their visits, LOL! 😊

Thankfully, we ordered a new pattern to practice and it came with enough for that basket and had enough left over material to finish my basket off, I'll be including a picture of the new basket(s) and my finished product in next weeks post, if I don't delete the pictures, again, LOL. It's going to be a fun hobby and I think it will help strengthen my fingers, maybe help loosen up some of the arthritis while we do it. That would be a huge blessing for me as my hands are quite stiff most days. 😊

Okay, my tea is gone, so that means its time to get off the computer and start my morning cleanup. I'll chat with you again soon. 😊

God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! 😊

Me too! I hated seeing it sitting their, so close to being done, but not...taunting me...not really, but it did give my OCD some stress. LOL! 😊

Just remember, this was my first and his second, though, he's completed two more since that one in my post. He's got a natural ability or something...not me, but I give it all I got, before taking a break. LOL! 😊

Yes, he is, he's a natural it seems. I don't think its a bad thing...probably because he's got a good brain for math...mine's more for spelling...at least it used to be, now its just tired. LOL! #&128522;

Thank you. I'll get better at it, the more I practice, but until they come out exactly as I want them to, I'll just use them as garden harvesting baskets. We can never have too many of those. 😊

Oh, my land, it's almost time to start the dough for our pizza supper tonight. I'll have to say goodbye for now and chat again another time. 😊
