As Thanksgiving approaches, so much to be thankful for, including a vaccine on the horizon.   Cheers....apple cider and Prosecco A fun Autumn toast with my beautiful Onz! So grateful for all of the little things and the big things... the beauty of nature, good health, and the love of family and friends, near and far.  ...and Thank you for stopping by. Wishing you the blessing of friendship and little things to be grateful for that appreciate in abundance!

 In the sun. Warm temperatures today meant we were off to Cranes for a walk. It was 60 degrees and a little breezy. When we first got out of the car, I thought vests over our light cardigans were called for. We weren’t walking very long, before the vests and cardigans came off.

An early start gave us time to visit Walden Pond for a short walk. Fall colors and summer temperatures  A perfect morning,  then a trip to Cranes  A perfect sunset...

 My word of the year is choose.  There couldn’t be a more appropriate word for this week. As for me, I did a mail in ballot. The rest of my family opted to do early voting, so we have done our civic duty.  I hope we see overwhelming support for the health and future of our country. Stay, safe, stay well, wear a mask, and please vote. Procreate Halloween Practice  With a message   We believe  Our votes matter.
