The Wrong Order!

A mixed up holiday season…


Here, in my part of Illinois, it usually goes like this:

The leaves fall
We rake leaves
We celebrate Thanksgiving
We wish for a white Christmas

This year, things got a little out of whack:

The leaves fell
We raked leaves
We beat records for an early snow
More leaves fell on the snow
We'll celebrate Thanksgiving
We'll rake more leaves when the snow melts *
We'll wish for a white Christmas

So, wherever you are, and whatever the weather and seasons you may have . . .
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

* After moving last year, the major chore of raking leaves in a large yard has been replaced by the leaves of one tree in our townhouse courtyard...so, watching others rake now simply stirs the memories of years past!
