Too many things to be thankful for, including this day of thanks. Shake a big jar of thankful and out sprinkles the following:
Thanks for new friends and old friends, my neighbors, my chickens. Thanks my dog didn't really bite the man who said she bit. Thanks my cat Monkey isn't as crazy as she looks; and that my cat Valentine is canny about the outdoors. Thanks my hen Cutie Patootie survived surgery as well as the condition that made it necessary, and thanks the lonesome dove survived to regrow her feathers and fly away.
Thanks for the freeway doves, for Fix Cafe, for Delilah Bakery, tiny mandarin oranges, and rain ... for everything that is good. For Seattle, where we are spending the holiday.
And thanks that my daughter is having fun today. It doesn't get better than that.
Cluck!
