Grateful for Family, Friends and health - this year was a quiet Thanksgiving that began with the Myopia Thanksgiving Hunt (Daisy earned her colors!) and while she was riding through the fields Dan,George and I went to St. Peter's Church to help serve their Thanksgiving dinner for their outreach. Then we came home and cooked our own Turkey and all the works - it was delicious and lovely. Daqisy made an amazing apple pie. George peeled and riced the potatoes. I made a tablecloth from a lovely heavy linen and wrote a lovely Thanksgiving poem along the edge:
For each new morning with it's Light
For Rest and Shelter of the Night
For Health and Food
For Love and Friends
For Everything Thy Goodness Sends
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
Tromping through the fields around Myopia, gathering bittersweet, grasses and rosehips I was in awe of the colors and bounty of the countryside. We are truly blessed.
