The Little Red Hen

Giving Thanks

We have a lot to be thankful for this year. We are all healthy, have enough food to eat, have a warm home, and loving, and supportive friends and family. 

We are enjoying a wonderful family weekend without homework (M finished his homework Wednesday!) and the usual routine of lessons and activities.

 

Yesterday we had a lovely afternoon of food and games with friends. I contributed a couple of pies to the meal. The pumpkin pie was made with one of our pumpkins using the recipe found here. It was delicious!

We have been doing some crafty things too. I'll probably share some of that later.

Thanks to all of you who stop by and make this such a wonderful place for me. I hope you are also having a wonderful weekend of fun with your family and friends.

I am grateful for a lifestyle that allows me to appreciate the simple things around me.

I am grateful for sunny fall days.

I am grateful that my daughter wanted to plant picking flowers in the garden. They have lasted a very long time. Their burst of color is very inviting and brings joy every time we go to the garden.  Sometimes we go to the garden just to pick the flowers.

Gratitude

I am grateful that I live in a place that has seasons. I enjoy the differences throughout the year and that each season here moves into the next right on schedule with the equinoxes and solstices.

We celebrated the arrival of fall last night with candles on the dinner table. P has been eagerly awaiting fall so that we can eat by candle light.

I am grateful for quiet moments to myself.
