I Love Thursday #152 Blessings Galore
This is the 152nd post of things we love for the week. We post these loves each Thursday along with LeeAnna on her blog at Not Afraid of Color. Several additional friends also share on a weekly basis – be sure to check them out. You will surely find something to inspire you.
Love #1
Sunflowers! A local farmer planted over 2-million sunflowers in their 22-acres usually reserved for strawberries. Why did they plant so many sunflowers? Just to cheer everyone up! With the virus, riots, and other assorted issues, the owners of the farm thought that everyone could use a smile and who cannot smile at a field of sunflowers?!
Love #2
Another giggle about schools being open with in-person teaching that I found on Facebook. There isn’t an easy answer about school and this virus.
Love #3
Baby Colt just turned six-month-old at the end of last week! How did that happen already? He can still be worn out and found napping after spending some time with his cousins, and here is the proof. ♥ ♥
Love #4
I have to share a few details about Dominic’s first day of pre-school! Not one tear was shed by that boy – he jumped out with the teacher and said, Bye-bye to his mom and sister. After school was over, mom got a picture of him with his Buzz and Woodie backpack. He’s growing up too fast! While D was in school, Addison found some time to enjoy a book or three. ♥
Dominic spent some time with Auntie Sue playing and stringing beads. He’s getting pretty good putting them on a pipe cleaner. Here’s a little proof-positive that Addison does give Colt a kiss now and then. She may have been hoping he was leaving . . . but it’s a kiss nevertheless. Dominic got some new Woodie boots . . . but Addison was DYING to wear them. It’s quite a look with her Frozen jammies, don’t you think?! ♥ ♥ ♥

Like/follow us on our Facebook page and you can share your photos of what you’re working on. We would love to see them!
I am sure they could have made money from those strawberries, so kudos to the farmers for doing something so selfless. Laughed out loud about the school/virus. I have friends that are teachers and they are stressed out of their gourds. They all deserve massive pay raises! Love this pix of the littles!
The school thing is funny but how strange it all is. The kids are adorable and in a separate note I will tell you a story about my mom and aunt, my son and Toy story.
Colt is such a cutie!!! And the others are just as adorable. Those boots!!!
Sunflowers and littles were just what I needed to see today. Thankyou Roseanne and Sue
How kind of that farmer! the picture cheered me up so I can only imagine how delightful they are in person! And Dominic looks so grown up! {says me, tearing up}!
You can’t help but smile when you see those sunflowers, can you. They are such a treat and amazing when seen in large numbers. Yeah, I’m unsure how all this school stuff is going to work. A work in progress at best, I think. Meanwhile, the kiddies are so sweet…imagine preschool, already!!
Awe, such beautiful photos of the kids going to school or staying home (younger one). They just grow so fast!
Good for Dominic and his parents for giving him confidence to start his first school day off right.
What is it about sunflowers that make you happy. How can Colt be 6 months already. ROFL Dominick’s backpack is bigger than him. I bet Addison likes some alone time. Great likes as usual.
Love the sunflowers. They make me happy! As always, cute pics of the littles!
Sunflowers! Mine didn’t produce much, but the neighbor down the street has a bunch that I hope she’ll give away like last year! That picture (or lack of it) made me laugh! Wow, kids grow up so fast!
Such beautiful sunflowers! They always look so happy! How can those kids be getting so big?? I only see them on your blog but I can see how much they’re growing. Time goes by too fast!
That little girl was surely styling with the Woody boots and Frozen gown! I predict a scrappy quilter in the making! Lol! Thanks for sharing the sunflowers. What a gorgeous sight!
The field of sunflowers is wonderful, and I am definitely laughing at your “image not found” cartoon! I can only imagine how much *fun* that is… Love Colt’s 6 month photo – so serious! Good for Dominic, having a great first day of preschool, and Addison reading her book, too. Always enjoy your posts, Roseanne!
I LOVE Sunflowers and must remember to plant some next year…just not 22 acres of them!! And yes, that photo of the class picture…priceless. Can’t believe Colt is 6 months old. Are you getting to fill in the growth chart regularly? Dominic in pre-school!! Wow. I knew Addison would be able to do fine on her own. But next week, she’ll want to go with him. Have a great weekend.
Field of Sunflowers…just because. I wonder if that’s a midwestern thing… several years ago we spent some time in the lakes region of Indiana and there was a field on the outskirts of the tiny town of North Webster filled with wildflowers up to your chest. There was a sign stating that the field was open for all to roam and pick a bouquet – with respect for others and the field itself.
Gotta love midwesterners!
The field of Sunflowers! Awesome! Our granddaughter (she is 27) went to a Sunflower maze in Vermont last weekend, I’m dying to hear about it!
I had a quick “oh oh” when I read about beads on a pipe cleaner. Then saw your photo and breathed a sigh of relief! Our pre-schooler ( our great granddaughter) brought home “pony beads” on a pipe cleaner bracelet! Proceeded to take them apart and while mindlessly watching a video, put one up her nose! A trip to the pediatrician and $600.00 later, she was all good. Gee, that was scary! She was in my care! I was sitting in the same room with her, just didn’t have eyes on her at all times!
So glad that D’s first day was a success!! I’ll bet that field of sunflowers is magnificent I’d just love to see the whole thing in the real.
Wow, thanks for sharing your sunflower field also! They are beautiful! And such sweet pics of the kiddos. I love the ones of Addison in her boots and giving the baby a sweet kiss…so cute!! Glad he had a good day. I will NEVER forget taking my daughter into her first day of K4. As it turns out, our pastor’s wife at the time was her teacher. She took Jeni’s hand and led her to her desk that already had some crayons and a picture to color on it! She didn’t cry a tear, or even say goodbye! Rumor has it someone cried all the way back to the car and home after leaving her!! I can’t substantiate that…just sayin’!! LOL
Sigh, there he goes, a big boy now…all of them are such a cute reminder to smile during the week! Thank you for always sharing! And how incredible it must be to go past that field of sunflowers…
Sunflowers are the best! I loved the no photo….funny! The kids are getting big and Colt is so cute! Happy Thursday ♥
Sunflowers are just such happy flowers, aren’t they? Had to chuckle at the meme, too. Of course, the kidlets steal the show!
