Holiday Toast
(Ruminations • )
The family’s all safe and warm this morning and the harvest continues apace. Most of the leaves have fallen, but the pecans still are coming and there are enough persimmons to freeze, can and (if things work out for my bro-in-law’s food safety students) ferment. The peppers continue to flower and fruit even in the cool evenings, and the green tomatoes approach tennis-ball size.
On this day at this moment, it feels right to give thanks to God for friends, family and readers, and for a year’s worth of blessings and protection from the worst of the ravages of the world.
Happy Thanksgiving!
