I am blessed with two sisters. Two best friends.
I am blessed with three silly little boys.
I am blessed to have a wonderful and beautiful mother who is an excellent cook.

I am blessed with plenty. Food. Conversation. Laughter. Much love.
I am blessed with health for walking and enjoying the fresh air.
I am blessed with family who love nature...
...And being silly...
...And caring for each other.

I am blessed beyond measure.
You captured it like no other can Heidi.
ReplyDeleteI must say, we stashed some of the Martinelli's away for ourselves to savor later... honestly, we seem to share more things similiarly each day.
Savor these moments... family together is a priceless gem. As ours are all in California. But it was a warm spirited day none the less.
Thanks for sharing these beautiful moments.
Beautiful, beautiful. Your posts are always so reaffirming to me!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI am laughing too b/c I tried to capture some of the same perspective shots although mine would have looked a whole lot nicer had I seen yours first!
Happy Holidays
and you bless by sharing your blessings, friend. My heart rejoices to the tune of your rejoicing.
ReplyDeleteIf you saw my post from yesterday, your post is the "gift that was beautifully wrapped.... and given."
Hello and Happy Thanksgiving. My mother-in-law told me about your blog. I too have a home full of boys living in the W. Valley.
ReplyDeleteYou have such beautiful photos!
God bless!

Oh Heidi!
ReplyDeleteThis post touches me deeply. It's so very beautiful and filled with heart and soul and peace. To me, it's reminiscent of Norman Rockwell Americana. It makes me happy - just like Prairie Chick so very aptly put it: My heart rejoices to the tune of your rejoicing!
What would I do without you lovely ladies who are so kind to comment regularly?! :) You have no idea how much you make me smile. I am thankful for you!!
ReplyDeleteOccasionally I feel as if I really *was* living in a Norman Rockwell painting. :) Ah... this is the life!! Thanks for enjoying it with me.
So nice Heidi. Your spirit of gratitude is contagious and don't we all need it in spades.
ReplyDeleteI have been away for a few weeks so have been catching up on your blog. I may have to inflict my "favorite book" titles on you just because you asked!
What beautiful Thanksgiving photos! I wish I had had time to take more pics of our celebration. Good thing I gave my girls instructions to take a few for me. I love your Green Day photos and tradition, too. Lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures, as always, are amazing. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post!
