#30daysofgratitude2015

Good Evening! by Holly E. Clark Via Flickr: You know December's around the corner when this beauty starts blooming. I'm grateful for this burst of pink color welcoming the solstice season in. 

Good Morning! by Holly E. Clark Via Flickr: Can you believe November is almost over? It certainly has gone fast. Despite my bare feet, it's pretty darn cold outside. But I'm super grateful we've had a mild November despite my lilacs blooming. It's been so much easier on Graham's hand (no gloves needed) and I was able to keep my chilies ripening until last week! 

Good Afternoon! by Holly E. Clark Via Flickr: Stopped for a cup of @lacolombecoffee at Volo Coffeehouse in Manayunk this morning. It was so beautiful out, we enjoyed the gorgeous sunshine amongst the remnants of fall. Perfect way to prepare for Thanksgiving food prep that's going on in our kitchen right now! 

Good Morning from the corner park, by Holly E. Clark Via Flickr: Good Morning from the corner park, aka. Poopy Park, cause people don't pick up after their dogs, & the Ginoko trees stink things up this time of year! Did you know that Philadelphia has one of the largest urban park systems in the USA? I'm grateful to be living in an area surrounded by trees and parks and green spaces even though I live in the city. I'm a block away from the Manayunk towpath, poopy park, a wooded city block and a wide open city block with two baseball fields and plenty of space for Major to run! Not bad for city living. Happy Sunday friends! 

Good Evening! by Holly E. Clark Via Flickr: Always a great time when @hbechtold comes for a visit! 

Good Evening! by Holly E. Clark Via Flickr: Good Evening! I was sure I'd be telling you how grateful I was we fit a nice long walk in where I gathered these pine cones on my walk today. Or that I'd be telling you about How I earned a clean bill of health at the dentist's tonight, but as it turns out, I have an old filling that needs fixed. Sob. Sob. You have no idea how stressful this is for me, but I'm incredibly grateful that it can be fixed, and that my teeth are clean and there are no new issues. And seriously, I'm lucky to be able to afford dental care and not lose all my teeth to cavities! Incidentally, if you're in the Philadelphia area and struggle to afford dental care, both University of Pennsylvania and Temple University have low-cost dental clinics that are an affordable option. 

Good evening! by Holly E. Clark Via Flickr: Good evening! Found a little fall in the CVS parking lot while Graham refilled his prescription. I'm grateful that his post-op appt earlier went well and his hand is on the mend! Everything's right on track.
