Welcome to Thursday Favorite Things!

Thursday Favorite Things. Share NOW. #linkyparty. #TFT #eclecticredbarn

Happy Thursday! Can you believe that this is the last day in April. I think many thought we might not make it to this day, but here we are. We did it. Hopefully May will be a brighter month. At least the weather should be better. That's always a plus and makes your day a little brighter. 

I hope you are all doing well and staying healthy. Hopefully you can find some inspiration at the party today or at least take your mind off of things for a moment.

Many of my features come from you my commenters. Don't forget to leave your Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you could become one of my featured commenters next week.

Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop

Welcome to Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop!

Happy Tuesday and welcome to the party. For me this pandemic has not been bad, I usually stay at home most of the time anyway. The one thing that is bothering me is - I need a hair cut. Do I get an Amen! I have cut my bangs three times already. I had to trim up hubby's hair and my father-in-law was going crazy with his hair and asked me to cut it. Now I can trim mine but I have never cut a man's and his is curly to boot. I didn't do too bad and he was happy with it. I think the salons are going to be packed when they are able to open. What about you? How is your hair?

You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Home Feature Week

Happy Monday! Instead of talking about the pandemic, let's talk about what you have been up to. I see many more posts than before. I have been working on a few myself and hope to share them soon. 

I have been working on my garden and planting lots of veggies. Zucchini is producing and I have yellow squash coming in a few days. The butternut squash is doing great. I'll share a post about that soon. Are you doing any gardening?

Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Zucchini


Lemon Parmesan Chicken with Zucchini

I harvested my first zucchini. I was so excited and of course I had to make a dish with them.  I didn't want to go to the store so I had to use what I had on hand - chicken and lemons. This is a lovely dish and healthy to boot.

You're The Star - Family Feature Week

Welcome to You're The Star - Family Feature Week

It's Happy Monday! I hope you are all doing well. Life is good, maybe a bit strange but still good.  Are you still having shortages with some products. TP seems to be back but still in short supply. (I wish I had stock in the TP company)I never seem to find it but my father-in-law goes early in the morning and finds some. He gets it for me so I don't really worry about it these days. Most everything else is available. Sugar and flour can be hit or miss. 

Are you having problems getting certain supplies?

A Very Interesting Rose

A Very Interesting Rose 

I have been growing roses here in Florida ever since I moved here fifteen years ago. The roses have been one of my favorite plants to grow since they have performed so well. When we moved to central Florida last year, I purchased 2 rose bushes to take with me. One is called Neal Diamond and it has these beautiful pinkish rose color roses.  See a picture of it below.

Happy Sunday! It's another day in the neighborhood or maybe I should say another day at home. I ventured out yesterday and went to Target. I thought it might not be so busy. Wrong, people were everywhere and only myself and 2 others had masks on. The sales people didn't and neither did the check out people. What are people thinking? We will never stop this if people don't take this seriously. It was like just another day for them. I don't understand. Is it just me? What is it like in your area?

My favorite part of these parties is reading your comments. I feel like I get to know you and that we are almost like "texting" back and forth. You share your stories with me and I share mine - just like friends.  So keep them coming.

Happiness Is Homemade

Welcome to Happiness is Homemade Party 

Happy Sunday to everyone. I know that we are still staying at home and trying to stay healthy.  Although it can be difficult, keeping this virus at bay is our primary goal. No one wants to be the recipient of it. 

With that in mind, I am seeing some amazing ideas for being at home: things for the kids to do, lots of DIY projects,  things to do when you are bored or recipes you can tackle. 

Are you doing new projects or maybe trying to finish up some that you started? Have you made any new recipes? How are the kids handling being at home?   Share your thoughts, I would love to hear them. I am doing lots of gardening. Any body else gardening?

Happy Thursday! Here we are - another Thursday party.  When I retired, it was difficult to know what day it was. My husband use to say, "oh you retirees never know what day it is". Well, now that he is working from home, he said, I finally know what you mean. I never know what day it is. Are you having that problem? 

Everyone here seems to be really trying, they are wearing masks out and staying the 6 feet distance. I am not sure how true that is since I have not been out, but when hubby went he said that was the case. Are you wearing a mask? I know that there are several posts on how to make them. I made my own and we use them.  Well, continue to stay healthy and safe.

Many of my features come from you my commenters. Don't forget to leave your Linkup Number or Post Title so I can find you and you could become one of my featured commenters next week.

Welcome to You're The Star - Creative Feature Week

Happy Monday! I hope this finds you well and that you had a lovely Easter even though it was very different. That seems to be the key word for these days - different.  I know that we are all dealing with the changes that we find ourselves in and one of these days we will come out of this stronger than ever.  Stay safe and healthy.

Happy Easter! Such a glorious day.  I was up watching the sun rise and listening to a service on the radio. I know it is not the same as going to church, but I was contented. Although these are trying times, I know that God is with us. 

I pray that you continue to be safe and healthy and that you find a sweet moment to put a smile on your face. 

My favorite part of these parties is reading your comments. I feel like I get to know you and that we are almost like "texting" back and forth. You share your stories with me and I share mine - just like friends.  So keep them coming.
