last modified: 3 years ago

We are doing a simple swap. All about fall, food, and blessings! Being thankful for so many things today!

We all love to cook warm, comforting foods in fall and of course, there is Thanksgiving! So we will send our partner a recipe and a pack of seeds for something in the recipe. Example, send coleslaw recipe so could send cabbage, carrot, or onion seeds.

Easy peezy!

Also send a fall or Thanksgiving card with the recipe and pack of seeds.

1. Recipe

2. Pack of seeds

3. Card

There will be Bingo! Also a surprise points game, so if playing post often! Tell us daily something you are thankful ( or nitnonotnonino for. Tell us about fall or Thanksgiving traditions. Just anything!

Sign ups until the 7th. Partners on 8th. Mail by18th.

Enjoy!

    I am thankful for dogs. So simple....all they want to do is be loved and make you happy.

    I agree with Annie but I have to throw in my cats too. I am thankful for all our fur babies. Each one has its’ own personality and sure helps when I am feeling down.

  • 3 years ago

    Annie good to hear you are getting rain. It is raining here now and supposed to rain all day tomorrow. We need this rain so bad. Thank you Lord for our rain.


    Melinda I am thankful for OBF as well. Do you know how many years ago we joined?

  • 3 years ago

    In the 70s yesterday then rain all day today taking temps into the 40’s daytime and low 30s nightime. Bye Bye annuals.


    I am thankful for the Post Office, they’ll be taking my envelope today.

    Boy, what a change in weather! Almost 80 to low 40. And rain which we need!

    Shirley, I think it was around 2006 to 2008. May have been earlier or later, but it's been awhile!

    So glad your pets are blessings to you all!

    I love pets, but not much room for apartment living!

    I am blessed with my church family! So special and there if you need them!

    Bingo for today's

    I am thankful for my family who have reached out today to comfort us after our dachshund took off after a squirrel and ran out in front of a car and was killed. He is usually chained up but followed my husband to the compost before hubby was going to bring him in. Bentley apotted the squirrel and took off. He has never run in the road but I guess it takes once. It’s been rough because we lost our other fur baby 4 months ago.

    Happy Veterans Day to everyone who has served and is serving now.


    Melinda I found a GW post from March 16, 2005 where Beth and I posted. A group called the Traveling Daylilies was one of the first I joined 16 years ago. Wow time sure flies.

    Hi! I am thankful for family. My sister, 51, is engaged. First time and wedding is Jan. She's coming back to the hometown so mom n I are busy planning, etc. It's such a blessing to see her so happy. Im also having fun telling my other single cousins there's still time! 

    I'll take some of that rain. We'd  even take snow. Very dry in Nebraska. 

    I'm thankful the election is over so we can talk about anything else!  Heidi

    I am also thankful for a place to live and I'm very thankful to live in America.

    Wow, snow already. Our temps have been in the 30's and 40's and will continue to be for a while. Well, at least we had a minute of fall weather.

    I received my card from Jeanne, with a recipe for Brown Sugar Honey Glazed Carrots and pack of carrot seeds.

    I also always use regular carrots instead of baby carrots. We always have carrots as we give our dogs one every night as a treat.

    We had our first freeze of the season Saturday night. 29 degrees. Haven't checked on any plants since the cold started last week. From inside they look pretty bad.

  • 3 years ago

    Thank you Ruth for the card/recipe and the onion seeds. I love to plant and harvest onions. The Bread Stuffing (Filling) recipe sounds yummy. Thanks again.


    So thankful for all my plants that I am getting ready for the Winter months.
