Month of Thanksgiving

"Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against the sky, How beautiful it is?
All its branches are outlined, and in its nakedness there is a poem,there is a song.
Every leaf is gone and it is waiting for the spring. When the spring comes
it again fills the tree with the music of many leaves,
Which in due season fall and are blown away.
And this is the way of life."
~Krishnamurti

Last year we did a Thanksgiving tree ...each night for the week leading up to Thanksgiving we would each write something that we were thankful for on a leaf and attach it to the tree. I loved how it turned out so much that this year we are doing it all month long! I didn't post a picture of it yesterday because I had to finally get caught up with posting about the Halloween weekend but here it is today. It's pretty bare since we are just two days into it but by Thanksgiving it will be full of autumn leaves stating all of the wonderful blessings in our life for which we are thankful!
By the way, while I enjoyed decorating our entry table in Halloween decor for Libby I'm so happy to have my fall table back! :-)
