Day After Thanksgiving

(Please click on images, then click again, to embiggen)

 

Best of luck to those who enjoy Black Friday.  Personally, I can’t think of any electronic item that’s worth the misery of crowds and crack of dawn, plus, I HATE the rabid consumerism pushed thru TV commercials.  Around Bon Bon Pond we are continuing the proud tradition of supporting the lesser advertised (hmmm, wonder why?) day after Thanksgiving event.

Happy Thanksgiving

For forests tall and oceans deep
For canyons wide and mountains steep
For sunset skies of pink and gold
For every sunrise we behold

For Winter's snow and Springtime's thaw
For Summer's warmth and Autumn's awe
For roofs that keep the rain away
For walls that hold it all at bay

For work that puts food on the table
For health and rest to keep us able
For friends and family around us
For years to come, may they surround us

For soldiers fighting for our peace
For days to come when wars may cease
For hope, so burdens won't enslave us
For thy forgiveness which will save us

For feast, and those with whom we share it
For loving hands that did prepare it
For all that makes this life worth living
We take this time on this Thanksgiving

To bow our heads and bend a knee
And pause to look around and see
For all that was, is, and shall be
We have none to thank, Oh Lord, but thee.

Amen.

--Eddie Mallonen

Happy Hanukkah

Thoughts for the Hectic Holiday Week Ahead

A gentle reminder to turn to the  outdoors 

during times of stress and high expectations.   

Mother Nature is a wonderful listener.
