Thanksgiving Thoughts






Another scene at the end of my sister's lane.  This lone cow begs
for a picture in this perfect composition.   I hurried and snapped
this picture from the car window.  I might add while safely at a stop sign.






Some leftovers awaiting someone years ago at
my mom's house.  I can't believe I did not take more pictures
on Thanksgiving Day, pictures with family.





Thanksgiving
Norman Rockwell,  November 24, 1945

This illustration usually does not come to mind when one thinks
of the Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving illustration.

I like this one.  A sentence about this scene:  In this instance the emotions
that have welled up in both mother and son take them beyond words.  Just
being together in the same room is all the communication that is needed.

I think this one is my favorites now depicting Thanksgiving.







This is a great one and the one that most often comes to mind when we
think of a Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving. 




May my blog readers and friends have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving today.

Frosty Friday Morning









This morning it was 29 degrees and our first real frost.  I've been trying to use different settings on my camera and still haven't mastered it.  I am trying  to have the foreground sharp and the background blurry.  I still have a ways to go. I am determined.

Only seven more days until Thanksgiving.  My sweet mother-in-law will be here along with some of my immediate family.  We are looking forward to it.  I have all these goals to accomplish before then.  I am heading out in a few minutes to do some grocery shopping. 

This short post is just a little note.  I will be back later ... I appreciate my loyal blog followers so very much!
