Love your waxwings. I don’t see them around MA.

[Lady Jag]

Beautiful poem. I had no trouble forwarding that around.

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you for sharing.

Love the poem! I didn't recognize it, searched her poems, and found another that she wrote that was new to me.

Morning

by Emily Dickinson

Will there really be a morning?
Is there such a thing as day?
Could I see it from the mountains
If I were as tall as they?

Has it feet like water-lilies?
Has it feathers like a bird?
Is it brought from famous countries
Of which I have never heard?

Oh, some scholar! Oh, some sailor!
Oh! some wise man from the skies!
Please to tell a little pilgrim
Where the place called morning lies!

Year before last I had a big flock..last year none at all..at least that I saw...I am like a kid when they arrive..and they make an “entrance”.
I have to go to the store and I am delaying..It will be a madhouse but I have to get catfood, litter and birdseed.
It will be a rare express lane trip.`
I am so hungry seeing all this food !...surely I can find something tempting.

[Lady Jag]

I have to get catfood, litter...

Seems futile sometimes, doesn't it?

[Lady Jag]

Talk about seeing birds, I wish I had my camera when over a friend’s house a few days ago. There were five enormous male turkeys standing out on his freshly manicured back lawn, just standing there posing like royalty.

You are right, LJ! Looks like I'm part Pisces. LOL!

What is your TRUE horoscope?

[Kitty Mittens]

Lori, your Opening Post is Absolutely Stunning; I Love Cedar Waxwings, and See them Here at the King's Ranch a Few Times a Year. Meg, your #2696 is Beautiful, and Yorkie, I Love your Sweet Goodnight Post from Last Night. LUV W, I Always Enjoy the Wonderful Things you Post. Thank you to Everyone for the Pings!

[Lady Jag]

It was close but I hate to tell you but I took the quiz and it was wrong for me. I know where my planets were when I was born and I’m a strong Leo with 5 planets in the fire sign.

[MEG33]

(((HUGS))) I’m glad you enjoyed the waxwings..I love it when they visit.

[MEG33]

This is LUVly, LUV

Thank you, Megs.

All of yours are, too....you have such an eye for color
and composition!

The neighborhood turkey was posed when I pulled in the drive this afternoon..He spends a lot of time on my patio..
I love having him in the neighborhood.

I made it to the store and had to go back just now..I decided to take a fruit salad and forgot the sour cream. My son was going to drive down , spend the night and we go back in the morning but I told him I could meet him in the morning at an outlet mall parking lot that is halfway..save him some driving. Someone can drive me back there Friday..I will leave my furry “not invisible” friends too much food and lots of water.(I’m a Taurus..LOL)

I had to go downtown today to get new car license tags..and I was late getting them..I went a new way..that took me back by the old historic home with beautiful grounds I explored in May.The home had red everblooming rose hedges that looked almost like azaleas in bloom betweem the long fence and the sidewalk..

I saw large lovely red, yellow and pink roses blooming in yards, too..There were some kind of fruit( I saw cherry like old fruit..but we don’t have cherry trees here that I know of) trees planted around the Records building that had gorgeous red foliage..so the trip down there wasn’t such a drag after all. Fall foliage is nice this year.
I must get my salad put together and get packing organized so I don’t forget something..
Hope you have a wonderful day..and a safe trip.

Thank you all for the pings and compliments on my opening today. I've got just a second to stop in and let you know how much I appreciate all of you......yes, I do!! Your culinary delights, poems and graphic contributions are wonderful.

I wish I had more time, but I have to get back to my guests. Have a wonderful day tomorrow. Gobble, gobble!!

[jaycee]

Lori, I'm sorry I haven't had time to play much today...just too many things to do. I know you understand as you have been busy too. Loved your opening this morning and your Holidays graphics were so good. Makes me not wanta do it anymore~~LOL~~! Just kidding. Wishing you a Blessed Thanksgiving, Lori. I am sure it will be bittersweet for you. So, have a piece of coffee cake on me!
