Maybe you didn't have turkey or didn't have enough? My sister, Barbara's turkey was delicious 
but most important was sharing family time. Grateful.

    Happy Thanksgiving, Carol, to you and your muse. I wonder if the next generation will be hunched a bit more, like the tree bark in your photo, due to looking down so much into little screens.

    You are celebrating Thanksgiving, aren't you? This is a typically American feast and I should like to know more about it. I am going to google this tradition and I wish you a very happy Thanksgiving.
    Thanks for your visit and comment.

    Happy Thanksgiving Carol! It looks like you had a special day, I did too, so fortunate we are to share such memories... I especially love the first winter photo, and the one of the peeling bark from afar and close up. Your haiku... touch my heart. Stay warm and cozy!
