Grateful for Fruit

Lately, I've been crazy for apples and not just  plain ones.

What I've been doing is chopping up an apple and adding a tablespoon of brown sugar, a handful each of pecan halves and raisins, and a sprinkle of both cinnamon and oatmeal.  


The concoction cooks quickly in the micro.  Then I add a splash of milk or half and half. Mmm mmm mmm

My hubs is crazy about mangoes.  

He peels them and then chops them into bite size pieces. Sometimes he adds salt. (Bad for you but tasty.)

Berries of any kind are luscious and I also love peaches and nectarines in season.

Any of the melons are delish--cantelope, honeydew and watermelon.

Sweet oranges and tangerines are good, too, and I love bananas with a glass of milk.

So today, I have to say it's fruit that I'm very grateful for.

 WHAT FRUIT ARE YOU CRAZY ABOUT?

Thankful Sunday

 On this Sunday and every day, I am immensely grateful for water.

It's such a gift to be able to quench one's thirst by drinking clean, pure water.

In many places in the world, one cannot find good water. 

The fact that we, in the USA, can go to our faucets, turn them on and have water come out is a true blessing.


 Here, at our house there is always a pitcher of water in the fridge, ready to assuage thirst.

Usually, there are slices of lemon, lime or both in the water pitcher.

In the photos in this post, of a water pitcher, the fruit slices hadn't been added yet.

Now I love cut glass objects for their often intricate beauty and designs. 

Isn't this water pitcher pretty?  Some of the shots are looking down in the water-filled pitcher before pouring some out for a drink.

Isn't it great to be able to drink fresh water and see the beauty of cut glass at the same time?









We are joining Linda's Thankful Sunday on her blog A La Carte. Her party begins Sunday evening.

I am very thankful for water!

 

Do you like to drink lots of water?
