What am I thankful for today? So much. Being able to spend a small Thanksgiving (I like it that way) with some family. Having food on the table.
I am thankful for all the people in my life who have been friends, family, mentors, co workers, or those who were in and then out of my life during a time I needed them. Many of them have moved on to wherever we go after our time on Earth is done. Others are still here - I have never thanked them enough.
I am thankful for the people working today to safeguard me, and make my life comfortable.
I am thankful for living in a part of the world where I can enjoy fall color in its season.
Today I'll be busy so here is more of the bounty at our local farmers market, continued from yesterday.
Here in the United States, today is Thanksgiving, a day to spend with family or friends if at all possible.
First mushrooms of the season. This is a winter crop for this particular farmer.
Parsley root.
Living herbs.
Cranberry sauce, made homemade by me, for today's dinner. Here's the recipe.
And, before I go, a song for the season.
I hope you have a happy Thursday or Thanksgiving, free of drama and full of love.
