Day 8, Debbie Reynolds Thanks Giving Challenge

 

ActiveRain Ambassador Debbie Reynolds has challenged blogger members to post a blog each day, through Thanksgiving, about something, someone or a situation, large or small, for which we are thankful.

I am thankful that Dolores and I are annual members at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. On Thursday, we took a day trip to Longwood Gardens to see and photograph the annual Chrysanthemum Festival. We took hundreds of photographs. If you miss this exhibit, you will want to visit for A Longwood Christmas, another outstanding annual exhibit.
