Thanksgiving

A gorgeous sky greeted me as I stepped out to get the newspaper this morning. The start of a wonderful day to reflect on the blessings we have amassed over the years. The order of the day was to journey down to Erika and Terry's for the big feast. Dylin called and asked when we were coming. I told her, "As soon as the bird is cooked". Her reply, "Why aren't you cooking a turkey?"

Aedin met us at the door with the greeting she had penned. Dylin set the table and made place cards for everyone.

Olsin had fun playing in the raked leaves. Aedin and Dylin barefoot sisters.

Aedin found a 'Puss Moth' caterpillar in the street. This time of year the caterpillars inhabit live oak trees and are indistinguishable from their bark. They are dangerous as they will sting and cause a rash. The playground at their school was closed one day recently as the caterpillars were discovered on the grounds. This one, according to Aedin, had already met its demise. So, she buried it with pomp and circumstance and a headstone for "Poisy" a nickname for poison.
