I had a busy, beautiful, and happy day. I went to the Dollar Store, which I always refused to go to, and checked out the prices for dog biscuits, towel paper, and tissues. Grow and learn.

The dog biscuits and tissues were good. I’ll be going there regularly; I do most of the shopping. There will be more bargains and fewer Amazon orders in the future. I’m learning how to shop more widely.

I tried the tissues, and they are fine. The box I got cost 1 dollar.

Today, I did a dry flower photo run, and I am grateful to the Army of Good for sending a truckload of juice to the Cambridge Food Pantry. There are four days left until Children’s Food Week.

The Urgent Children’s Food Week is entering its second day; the first was a huge success. Today’s food for the children is Quaker Instant Oatmeal, 4 Flavor Variety Pack, 48 Individual Packets, for $15.99.

For $15.99, you will get badly needed food for 66 families and 180 children. Chicken Noodle Soup will be on the list tomorrow, followed by Cinnamon Life Cereal and Chicken Ramen. We are also looking for Ravioli and Peanut Butter for future backpacks. You can see the entire Food Pantry Wish List here; it’s updated daily.

We put the backpacks together on Thursday; they are designed to go through the weekend and beyond if possible.

The ten photos are below, so please enjoy them. The sun was out for much of the day. Life is good.

The magnolias exploded today on their bush; they’ll be gone in a week.

 

The daffodils seemed to come right out of the sun.

 

It felt like they were jumping up at the sky.

 

Lisnathus, these are going into my garden bed.

 

 

I’m practicing placing the flowers in front of the sun.

The Magnolias looked beautiful on that bush.

 

 

 

White roses, Lianthus, beautiful sisters.

 

The white rose honors St. Terese, purity, and compassion.
