In the lifetime of a human being
There are many things to be grateful for
Too numerous perhaps to consider individually
And yet
In the open, roaring sea of my gratitude
I see you;
I am overcome
Most of all
When I consider you.
Happy Thanksgiving

I live on a farm ... 
What a beautiful sentiment. Your little critter there reminds me of guinea pigs. I’ve had many & remember each one profoundly. Just the shape of his little face and ears. Cuteness overload! 🙂

Love the little teasel “mouse”! Very cute! Love the photo too. I have so many acorns and leftover acorn “hats” around, maybe you’d like to have some for your creations?
Have a great, cozy Thanksgiving!

Do you know I look up on the drive home from work and say to myself, “Oh, its Monday or Wed. and I can look at that great blog site today.”
Reading your blog is like eating a really good mozzarella stick! Incredibly satisfying on different levels. Artistically, spiritualy, and emmotionally- its all in there and I get be witness to a life well lived . ok maybe a mozzarella stick doesn’t quite fit but you get the idea/
Thank you for openning your life to us all. I love love love your pictures, your knitting projects and the story of your journey!
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
Cindy

I find your site very soothing and your writing entertaining. But, what I enjoy the most are the photos. Are you the photographer? If you are sharing, I would like directions to make your critter…..I had to laugh, it looks like my dog (except for the red nose).

May your holiday weekend be full of warmth and happiness.
