Thankful Thursday and Little Things Thursday

Pickwick, Tennessee, USA, August 6, 2019
I am thankful for wildflowers and butterflies! This native wildflower, Buttonbush, grows along the shore of Pickwick Lake and attracts butterflies, large and small.

And I am thankful we got home safely after meeting friends for lunch at the Pickwick Inn Restaurant.

Prentiss County, Mississippi, USA, August 6, 2019
We had a flat, and had to drive the 50 miles home on this skinny little tire.

And I am very thankful for the Tennessee State Park Ranger who brought a portable air compressor out to us to inflate the spare tire - it was about half-way flat. Lesson learned: periodically check the air pressure in the spare tire!

Have a blessed day!

  11. You were blessed indeed to have some help along the way. Sometimes we are in places where there is no help. That's scary. And, the beautiful butterfly. I love those things... Just can't seem to photo them well, they just flit around and won't be still!
