thankful thursday {link up}

{Link up your own Thankful Thursday post below...}

This Thursday I am thankful for...

1) My health.  Last weekend's kidney infection definitely reminded me to be grateful for my health.  I rarely get sick and am blessed to really have no major health issues.  So many people suffer from chronic pain and daily health problems... sometimes I forget to be grateful for those pain-free-completely healthy days.

2) Rainier cherries. Best.cherries.in.the.world.  If you've never tried a rainier cherry, then you are seriously missing out.  Don't let their light pink/slightly yellow color throw you off, these cherries are sweet.  I may or may not have bought (and consumed) eleven dollars worth the other day...

3) Front porch weather.  The past few evenings have been so nice lately... perfect front porch weather.  Our front porch is perfect for reading a good book... editing some photos... catching up on the phone... watching fire flies... and eating rainier cherries... just perfect.  

I always love reading all of your Thankful Thursday link-ups each week... some make me laugh, some make me nod in agreement, and some just simply warm my heart.  But hands down, my favorite linkup from last week was Kelly's post from Check...one...two...three... because she formally announced that she's expecting baby number two!!  Congratulations Kelly!!

You are so lucky to have the nice gorgeous weather. Wish I could come over and sit on your front porch with you because here in Houston at 7pm at night it is still in the 90's!

I'm currently experiencing front porch envy... our front porch isn't really a porch... more like a hobbit hole! : )

I spent a lot of time in Louisiana recently, and one thing that I am jealous of is the front porches. I always wanted a front porch. As a kid, I had visions of coming home after a date and doing that cute thing where you sit on a porch and you may or may not kiss. I had visions of enjoying lemonade on the porch as a kid, now we can change that to an ice cold beer. I love that there are fans on the porches. It looks like a good place to read a book. You can say hi to your neighbors. Clearly I've fantasticalized (not a word) the idea of the front porch, but I'm sticking to it. And maybe one day I'll have one :)
