Canadian Thanksgiving.

It's Thanksgiving day in Canada and I wanted to take the time to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. I have so many things to be thankful for today. There are the obvious ones(yet often taken for granted) like how blessed I am to live in a beautiful country where we are so blessed. I am thankful for friends and family, for health, safety, freedom, *sunshine, and of course, palm trees!!!!!!! I'm sorry, I had to throw that one in there.

With so many things to be thankful for - like the extended summer season - I hope everyone takes time to be thankful on this fine Canadian Thanksgiving.


And lastly, thank you for all my garden blogger friends for showing me such warmth and kindness. You're the best.

  3. Happy Thanksgiving! I'm thankful you've helped remind me how lucky I am to live somewhere that I can plant palm trees in my garden. I might just name my new (bought this weekend for only $16.99) little Trachycarpus "Louis"... Would you mind?

    1. thanks! It was really good. lots of turkey, apple and pumpkin pie, and all the joys of a thanksgiving feast! Did you still celebrate a Canadian thanksgiving? I do both! Any excuse for another big feast sounds good to me.
