November 2020
Pacific Northwest
It’s Thanksgiving today, and I’d usually be down on the mainland at my extended family’s annual gathering where I’ve spent this holiday for the past 60-some years. But this year like many folks I’m at home today celebrating the occasion just with my husband instead, to avoid what might otherwise be a superspreader event. For example my 95-year old mom has COPD, and as much as we all enjoy getting together to visit, it would be horrible if she or anyone in my family died for it. I will especially miss seeing my kids and grandkids, but there’s the phone and FaceTime during these COVID times, and we have a zoom event planned for this evening among the larger family and friends who usually attend our Thanksgiving.
So even though this year has been terrible in many ways, there are still things to be thankful for. Today I will pass on politics and health problems near and far, and focus on what makes life good. The biggest part of that for me is my husband and family, and nature and wildlife. For today’s Daily Bucket, this might be a good day to post some nature moments we are thankful for, since I know all of us here love the natural world. Thanks lostintheozarks for suggesting it! I’ll kick this off with a few recent encounters this fall that have warmed my heart.
