Giving Thanks

By Skeeter
On this day I would like to Give Thanks from my Georgia Garden.
I am most happy to Give Thanks for my good health and wonderful family and friends...
I would like to give Thanks for the beauty which surrounds me... I would like to give Thanks for the childhood memories of this beautiful Ginkgo Tree in the front yard of our old house...

(I talked about This Ginkgo Tree a while back and my mom was kind enough to send me a picture of it this fall when in full fall glory. Go to the link to see how big this tree once stood in the 70's and imagine how huge it would be today had someone not topped the beauty.)

I would like to give Thanks to my eyes for without them, I would not see such beauty around me... I would like to give Thanks for blogging as it has opened those eyes to many things I would have never noticed without you...
I would like to Give Thanks for the fallen leaves. Most would view them as a pain in the butt. I view them as a gift from the trees reminding me how lucky I am to have a home and leaves to rake...
I have so much to be grateful for that I could go on and on with GIVING THANKS, In the Garden...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

  11. Hi Tina,

    Thank you for showing all of us how much we have to be thankful for. I live being thankful for the simple things in life, but hadn't thought to extend that to being thankful to having leaves to rake. But, you are right, I should be grateful, so I will be :0)
