Little Things to be Thankful For

Welcome!  Hope everyone has been having a nice week. - It's been busy here but pleasant.

So today I'm joining Tamar (Random-osity), Michelle (It's a Small Town Life) and Gosia (Looking for Identity) for:

FENCES AROUND THE WORLD


LITTLE THINGS THURSDAY










THANKFUL THURSDAY


First up my Fence shots... (Click to enlarge photos)

 What's that behind the bars of this fence?  Why it's a......Dinosaur!


Here is a better view.  You'll notice he's decked out with Christmas lights.  These shots were taken in April of 2015 and they apparently hadn't taken off the lights yet. 

Just in case you are wondering there is a "fence" in the background of this shot.

Next up for Little Things Thursday & Thankful Thursday....

It's time for.....Strawberries!!!


Yes that's me (goofy face & all) enjoying the first strawberries from Klicker's this year. 


Don't they look lucious?


What's a girl to to but make Strawberry Shortcake.

I'm thankful we have local, fresh berries to enjoy every summer because they sure beat the ones you buy in the store!

Have a great day.

    Oh YUM! Our local strawberries have been gone while now. Here in NC we get them in late April and early May. We have been fortunate since then to find some pretty good ones in the grocery stores too! Anytime is a good time for strawberries and especially STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE!

    So....are you going to eat ALL of those strawberries yourself? hahaha! Can I have at least ONE? Ours were in season a long time ago and I miss them. I got fresh blueberries today though! Hugs!

    Your shortcake looks scrumptious. A few stray strawberry plants have settled in among the perennials atMuldoon. A tasty treat.

    Howdy there Ida, stopped by to see what you're up to! I so enjoyed the past post....LOVED ALL YOUR duckie in the water pictures, you got some great ones! Sure looks like a fun event! I loved the pictures of the dancers too....I love to hear their drums and their songs and the costumes are so interesting and amazing aren't they? We got to see a demonstration once out west and it was very captivating. Hope you have a great weekend and enjoy those strawberries!

    Oh my gosh IW remember Klickers from when we lived in Clarkston (where we were both raised actually). Holy cow what a great blast from the past. And they are wonderful berries. We get strawberries in February/March in Florida, which is like an alternative world. And they are good and it is cool to go pick them in the middle of winter. But they really aren't quite as good as the June ones in the Pacific Northwest. Wow. Eat a slice of shortcake for me will you?
