giving thanks is a good thing to do.
i'll have a small celebration, the kids won't be home, but that's ok. they know how much they are loved, how thankful i am they are in the world. and when we are together next time, we will celebrate.
may your thanksgiving be full of light.
Beautiful, Velma! Love that 'layered rural calligraphy'...and that little 'pop' or red.
ReplyDeleteMany things to be thankful for, especially your words and images. We are all blessed by them.
Love your landscape, Velma! Happy Thanksgiving! Sometimes quiet celebrations are the best...AND you have great kids!

Thank you for sharing your photos. Remind me of where I grew up (NE of you by a wee bit and across the 49th parallel). We had lots of those 'roller-coaster roads' -- loved to be in the back seat when our dad drove over one! :-)
ReplyDeletewe don't have thanksgiving here, no culture of it at all (except among expat Americans), we don't even understand it...i don't even know when it is, what the date is.
ReplyDeletebut this post of yours makes me start to think about it for the very first time ever.
thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. nigella lawson, a brit, loves it because she says it's only about itself: no presents, no religion, just thanks for the harvest, the earthly year.
ReplyDeletecait-i miss them SO much this year.
and kaite, if i did that, well, wow!
i love thanksgiving too.
ReplyDeletei always like to think of it as a true nourishment before what is usually a hard seasons that around here snows us in.
may your thanksgiving be lovely, filled with thanks and joy, even if that involves quiet time and a little long distance communication.
as someones kid i can tell you i know i'm loved whether i'm five minutes or 25 hours away, as i was a few thanksgivings past.
Hi Velma - the bottom two photos are really, really, superb - the light is amazing. Gilly
ReplyDeleteA road like that really is a wonderful thing...full of potential and mystery. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteV-a visual feast on every walk. B
ReplyDeletei love the light just before the end of the day.
