Thanksgiving

 
"Oh! favors old, yet ever new,
Oh! blessings with the sunshine sent.
The bounty overruns our due.
The fullness shames our discontent."
-John Greenleaf Whittier
from Harvest Hymn
 
 
-Benjamin who likes to climb and explore
-clean clothes
-Olivia frequently making us roll with laughter at her funny faces and expressions (and reminding me of one of my own sisters)

 
-the beauty of black pearls of papaya seeds against the sweet flesh
-watching Sarah make my mother's recipe for pumpkin pie, all by herself
-hot cocoa
 

-Katherine's excitement at a beautifully camouflaged inchworm crawling across our porch
-going to take the clothes off the line, only to discover that Aaron has already done it
 
 
"Great are the works of the Lord; they are pondered by all who delight in them.  Psalm 111:2
