Thanksgivings

For helpers

and teachers

For this handsome fella

For no-pesticide corn and "pets!"

For creative sleeping habits

For ups

and downs

For thumbs. I never appreciated them enough before.

For sons

For green magic

For buddies

and brothers

For this picture

For creatures of the night

And for something to bring out when their dates come over.

thanksgivings...

For a garden that continues to amaze

For big brothers

For ordinary magic

For irregular eggs

and good food from good friends

For finally finding the missing sunflower.

For catching flies

For hard work and the reward of discovering new growth

For a comfy Aunt

For first birthday parties

For 'two out of three isn't bad'

For a connection to my ancestors

For gaps

For alternatives

For my girl

For the library

For sugar and spice
