Happy Thanksgiving!

Monday, November 21, 2022

Hello friends,

Happy Thanksgiving! My favorite holiday for many reasons. I love turkey and dressing with my Great Grandfather’s not so secret recipe, I love how it’s all about being thankful and they only have minimal commercialization, and I love that it’s a time to get together with family. All happy! I once heard someone tell a story about how they had all these bad things to complain about, how could they be thankful? The answer was to get more basic. Do you have a roof over your head? No? Do you have your next meal? No? Are you still breathing? Okay. Be thankful that you are still breathing. Everyone can be thankful for something, and usually we can be thankful for quite a lot!

I am thankful that the weather is moderating. A couple of days of winter-like weather makes me thankful for the 50’s. My insulated boots were starting to split at the right toe, so I knew I needed new ones soon. Then the whole heel pulled loose, and they became unwearable. My feet were so cold last week even with the wool socks. Sunday we finally had a chance to go to the Family Center (everything you could ever want for a farm) and I got a new pair. It is so necessary to have warm outerwear when you work in the weather…
