Happy Thanksgiving
It's a busy week for all those of us who celebrate Thanksgiving, so I'm going to keep this weeks blog post simple and repeat my closing words in a recent newsletter.
Choosing Gratitude
It's time to dig up parsnips and carrots for this weeks Thanksgiving dinner, and roast the butternut squash to turn them into "pumpkin pie". Planting those seeds last June was to plant hope. Harvesting now elicits gratitude. It's the little things, right?
When the world seems too big, or our worries overwhelming, the garden is a good place to be. It keeps me humble for sure, teaches me patience, and reminds me to look at the bigger picture as instant gratification is rare.
Wishing you all peace in your hearts as you choose thankfulness.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Hi Nora, thank you – same to you
Karen,
Happy Thanksgiving to you, too. I hope your move doesn't foretell your retirement. My garden club hopes to have your as a Zoom presenter again next year! Peace and good luck in your real estate hunt.

No worries Nancy. No retirement in the immediate future at least. Don't leave it too long to book a presentation though as it's going to be a busy year!
And a wonderful Thanksgiving to you & your family! Gorgeous photo & a very nice post. Gratitude! Oooh, I bet you will really enjoy your parsnips, carrots & butternut squash! Sounds Fab! Greetings from your fan in Virginia Beach, Virginia
