Layers of Thanksgiving

Things That Mean Thanksgiving Is Near

Rustic gold-trimmed turkey designed plates

Pinecone and dried leave decorations

Collecting Thanksgiving recipes

Anticipation of family dinner

A grateful gathering

Leaves fall as the time ticks back

Leaf blower song, along with the rustling leaves

🍂

Things That Give Me A Grateful Feeling

My health

My family’s health

My home

My family history

My hobbies

My heritage

Things I Want On My Thanksgiving Menu

With mashed potatoes

And gravy

Sweet potatoes

With melted marshmallows

Things That I Hope Happens In November

A peaceful election, but I doubt that will happen

Colder weather

Windy days

Frosted-covered window panes

Quiet reflections that stay in the present
