| Being Thankful |
|---|
I got up this morning and the sun was shining and the weather forecast was for another sunny and warm day here in southeastern Arizona. Up north in my home state of Montana the weather forecast is for snow and cold. How thankful am I to be here in Arizona? I don’t imagine that anyone has to ask that question. How thankful are you? This week we observe a special holiday; a unique holiday that was not established to commemorate a battle or some other noteworthy event but a holiday to provide a national day of thanksgiving.

As we locked up the house in Montana and I pulled our vehicle out of the driveway it seemed impossible that the summer of 2010 was now merely a collection of memories and images saved on the hard drive of my computer.

Since the gully washer it has not rained. There has been a steady wind and I thought that I could get into a pond, so I loaded the canoe the night before and took off early in the morning. 
The Adams, created by Leonard Halladay in 1922, represents a multitude of grayish-brownish insects and seems to have no geographical limit in its usefulness around the globe.
