What are you thankful for this day? Bluemountainmomma tells of children growing up with less than nothing, some of whom come around, ultimately, to heal, to be thankful for the ordinary ways we live together peacefully and so often take for granted. Read “dirty, pretty things“.

Eating our peck of dirt, as they say. Watching the chickens enjoy the first warm afternoon, I squatted down amongh them feeding on the gentle slope above the garden. Suddenly, all four descended on a single square foot--some delectable earthworm, perhaps? Nope. Dog poop. Eggs may never taste the same.

Thanks for the link to Bluemountainmam’s post.
Pretty remarkable accomplishment to successfully work with those children, and get so much blessing out of it.
I hope you had a happy Thanksgiving! I’m just back from almost 5 months on the road, and I wish I was still out there. Staying home is an adjustment.
