Thankful Turkeys

We get our turkey at the same farm in Guilford, CT every year.

These Turkeys are very Thankful.
They were dyed for the occasion
and so the Big Day will pass
 and they’ll be thrown back into the flock.

ThisTurkey?
Not so much.
He’s coming home with me.
This year there is much to be thankful for.
We are finally living in This Old House, the house of my dreams.
We are all here, all relatively healthy
Our Bailey dog is still among us despite the odds
and I have what I consider a blog family.
All of you who comment on my blog
whether it’s frequent or occasional,
I have so enjoyed getting to know you
and your corners of the earth.
I’m Thankful for you too.
And Aleve..I’m very thankful for Aleve,
cause without it this sciatica would drive me nutz.

For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,

For health and food, for love and friends,

For everything Thy goodness sends.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson
