Counting Blessings

Thanksgiving season has arrived and I have started counting blessings.

Here are a few of mine.

The joy of creating.










Flowers continuing to bloom.













Veggies waiting for harvest.














Bits of color brightening a gray November day.
















Warm goodies for sharing.


















Two companions enjoying a moment together.

There are so many more but will save those for another post.

In the meantime maybe you will share some of yours.

Have a Blessed Day!

Hugs Debbie

  1. Love your painting Debbie. Muffins look delicious and it must be warm still there. Woke up this morn to a white frosty world, our first freeze. Love your dogs. This year I am thankful my husband is better and the people that chose me to buy their home where we'll have our first Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

  8. You have great things to be thankful for, Debbie! We don't celebrate this in the Netherlands, but your post is a great reminder for me to focus on the good things. Most of all I am thankful for the good relationship my son and I have now, we had some hard times in the past.

Such a talent you have , your lovely painting so full of colour and such looseness with the brush, love it.Enjoy your Thanks Giving with your family.

  10. Really love your painting Debbie. Expressively free and colourful. Just how I like my watercolours. I can feel the enjoyment you got from it. There is always lots to be thankful for and perhaps some of us are fortunate to learn that it is generally the simple things in life that bring us the most joy. Thanks for sharing. xx
