A family farm tribute!

Without the farmer there would be no thanksgiving meal. This picture is of a cool fall morning and a cardinal perched on a rusted barb wire fence, with a cedar post that was placed in the ground years ago by a farmer. 

The loss of the family farm

Rotting externally into a time unknown,

Giving way into the land unsown,

The ghosts of the family farm it once knew,

are replaced by a world that is desperately new.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

These two turkeys are on the run. They certainly don't want to end up on a Thanksgiving table. I am sure they wished Ben Franklin had his way and the turkey was our national bird. Thank goodness the majestic eagle won the award because it just wouldn't feel right to have a national bird that gobbles. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.
