Happy Thanksgiving!

The turkey is in the oven and the sink is steaming clean the cat is on the bed while the dog is in just another room there are two guests in the house with another on the way and the phone is ringing nearly every fifteen minutes One brother is playing with the dog while the other guest is reading Mother is on the phone and I am sitting at my desk praying quietly The squirrels are running through the wet leaves from tree to tree while the cat is snoozing and the strays are absent for the day The turkey has over three hours to bake and one pie has been cut The other items are being made one by one while the table is set the lights are up on the house waiting to be turned on and the only birds are a clock It's Thanksgiving and giving is good even when it happens to be gratitude- Happy Thanksgiving to all "and to all a good" season!
