"Thanksgiving is a circle
of memories."

Thanksgiving
Gettin' together to smile an'
rejoice,
An' eatin' an' laughin' with
folks of your choice;
An' kissin' the girls an' declarin'
that they
Are growin more beautiful day
after day;
Chattin' an' braggin' a bit with
the men,
Buildin' the old family circle
again;
Livin' the wholesome an' old-fashioned
cheer,
Just for awhile at the end of
the year.
------Edgar A. Guest

"A garden is a grand teacher.
It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry
and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust."

"Looking for and enjoying beauty
is a way to nourish the soul. the universe is in the habit of
making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles,
acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done,
the smell of fresh-baked bread. Beauty is everywhere."- Matthew Fox
