Blessings....

As we have been concentrating on this season of Thanksgiving, we have been reminded of how very blessed we are.  These words seem very appropriate at this time.

                 "Bless this house, O Lord, we pray,

                     Make it safe by night and day;

                   Bless these walls, so firm and stout,

                      Keeping want and trouble out;

                   Bless the roof and chimneys tall,

                      Let thy peace be over all;

                   Bless this door, that it may prove

                       Ever open to joy and love."

                                               - Taylor

While not the usual colors associated with Thanksgiving arrangements, this is what was provided for us in our yard for our table arrangement.

Knock-out Roses and White Mums

Yes, our Knock-out Roses are still doing well, though the Mums are showing some "wear."  The vase has been a favorite for many years, a gift from a former student.
