Giving thanks in the garden
November 25, 2008
We celebrate our national day of Thanksgiving on Thursday, but I believe gardeners give thanks all year long.
We give thanks for fleeting moments of beauty.
We give thanks for seasonal changes that remind us to be grateful for each moment we’re given.
And we give thanks for the friends who share their precious time to take the journey with us.
Thank you, and happy Thanksgiving.

Happy Thanksgiving, Pam!
Same to you! Hope we all have many more chances to be thankful..
Indeed, there is much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, even in the midst of the national gloom that currently surrounds our economy. Near the top of my list of “thanks,” as always, will be my garden. But also right up there will be bloggers like you from whom I’ve learned so much this past year. Thanks, Pam.
I feel the same Pam, my garden sustains me and so do my gardening friends! …Thank you and have a wonderful holiday! Gail
Have a safe & happy Thanksgiving Pam!
Happy Thanksgiving Pam!

May you have a wonderful filling Thanksgiving, the first in your new home, Pam. So much for all of us to be thankful for. I am especially thankful for you helping me get started in the blogdom. My anniversary is coming up soon, and I still have the emails you sent helping me get through the steps of joining this very special group of garden bloggers. Thanks to you and your kindness.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family, Pam!
Beautiful post Pam. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Pam, may this be only the first of many happily memorable Thanksgivings in your new home. I’m thankful that you asked me to participate in Spring Fling, thereby giving me more wonderful gardening friends and even more for which to be thankful!
Such a sweet post. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving Day.
I think you are quite right, Pam! Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanks Pam for all your info. May you & yours have the HAPPIEST THANKSGIVING ever & it will be in a new home & a new garden. A new beginning. All the best.
Happy Thanksgiving Pam!!!

Pam — Wishing peace and happiness to you and yours on this wonderful Thanksgiving.
You are so right that many of us gardeners have thankful hearts; partly because we are surrounded by so much beauty. My garden is rather messy, or cottage style, but to me it is full of grace, including a statue of Mary, which turns my thoughts to prayer.
I especially like your garden sign photo, of the 3 grey birds,

Those are truly touching, beautiful words, Pam. I thank you for sharing your gardens all year long!

Happy Thanksgiving, Pam! I couldn’t help but spend a few hours outside today hanging out in the garden and planting winter annuals, it was so gorgeous outside. 🙂
Hi Pam, I enjoyed your post and photos! Hope your Thanksgiving was wonderful! Jan

Hi Pam,
It’s several days after you posted this, Pam – too late to do more than say I’m grateful we met and hope you and your family had a lovely Thanksgiving day.
