Happy Thanksgiving
The temperature in San Diego, CA today is in the 70′s. The surf has been good too. It’s been the perfect week for gardening and hanging out with my bearded dragons and dogs in the backyard.
Today is Thanksgiving and it will be hot in the kitchen. I’m hosting a nice sized crowd today and using a lot of fresh herbs from my garden for the stuffing, fresh picked lettuce for the salad and rosemary for the bread. It’s days like today when I have a lot of different dishes to prepare that I am thankful for my garden and enjoy sharing it with my family and friends.
Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American Essayist
For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
