We don’t need the declaration of a national holiday to remind us to say thank you.
Our gratitude runs deep, like the splash of a dandelion blooming beneath the blanket of deep November pin oak leaves.

And the harvest of sweet carrots that hung out in the back bed long enough to put the finishing touches on the chowder we got to share with all those good friends.

And the little tree that lights up this corner of our studio…now living room.
The light at the easel in the background holds the promise of the season…
That I will be able to get back to my day job very soon.

With construction progressing…
that goal gets closer each day…

For now,
we are thankful to be safe and snug sitting by those twinkling lights
and comforted every day by all who have showed us such kindness and support over these last few weeks.
Let the season of light and love begin…

Ready
Set
BAKE !!!!
