Gratitude Spiral: Day 248

Today, I’m grateful for this first day of August.

August is a special month for my family, complete with birthdays and anniversaries and usually a few beach days thrown in. What could be better? 🙂

What are you grateful for today?

August Treasures

Every August, I look forward to the blooming of the hibiscus at the corner of my front yard, with it’s lunch-plate sized blossoms. It never disappoints!

The Rose of Sharon trees follow suit.
