There is always something to be thankful for. Picking up walnuts and raking leaves seems to be a never-ending fall chore. But yesterday was somewhat different being Halloween under a blue moon, the threat of spreading Covid-19, and the end of Daylight Saving Time. The sun was shining down, warming us as we were cleaning up the leaves; it felt so good after the frigid cold of last week. Later, after sunset but before dark a small group of trick-or-treaters rang the door bell. Surprise! Luckily, hubby most always has a stash of chocolate available. Some of you might think, "Huh?", but we live outside of town and these are the first Halloween visitors we have had in the 11 years of living here! Following dinner I was surprised with a special dessert of home-grown golden apples with caramel dipping sauce and an impromptu serenade of several great horned owls. Yes, it was a good day and I am thankful.
