for today

for today...

outside my window... 43F/cloudy @ 8pm

i am thinking...  thanksgiving is my favorite holiday

i am thankful for... Irish Oats ♥ the BEST oatmeal 

i am wearing... blue jeans, flannel shirt & ankle boots

i am going... to Harrison Valley, to vote on Nov 6th

i am currently reading...  Oct/Nov magazines, before Dec issues arrive

i am hoping... to research "sonker" recipes for the upcoming holidays

on my mind... gas @ $3.03/gallon, milk @ $2.75/gallon, butter @ $2.99/lb

pondering these words...

T   hanks for time to be together, turkey, talk, and tangy weather.

H  for harvest stored away, home, and hearth, and holiday.

A  for autumn's frosty art, and abundance in the heart.
N  for neighbors, and November, nice things, new things to remember.
K  for kitchen, kettles' croon, kith and kin expected soon.
S  for sizzles, sights, and sounds, and something special that about.
    That spells THANKS for joy in living and a jolly good Thanksgiving.
