For pumpkins and patios

It's Thanksgiving here tomorrow, so I shall (again) put off the daunting task of recounting to past wonderful, humbling week to instead simply do what the time demands: be deeply, truly thankful, for love, for family and friends, for sunshine and chipmunks in the front yard, for stepsons who smile and love and laugh, for soil that is rich, and time that is so elastic as to make it feel I've lived here forever already.
It's frightening sometimes to fully comprehend the richness and beauty of life. Lucky I am, as lucky as the teeming universe that only reveals itself in pricks of distant light, lest it dazzle us all into insanity.
