Happy Thanksgiving!

On this cold and blustery day in northern Iowa, I give thanks for all my wonderful family and friends. There is a lot of food to be eaten and card games to be played.

Mums

I still have a mum that has been blooming for just a few days that doesn't realize winter is coming.  I love the color.  It was a gift this spring so I had no idea what color it would be.
