Thanksgiving is a time when most of us take a little time to reflect on the blessings that have been part of our lives. Although they are certainly reasons to be thankful, most of them are reruns. Most of us have been blessed over the last year with great friends and family, reasonable levels of health and wealth, and the opportunity to share our good fortunes.
My Thanksgiving is like most other folks' with one extra reason to be thankful this year. Either today, if the Packers - Lions game goes lame, or tomorrow if it doesn't, I will be swapping the mowing deck for the snow blower on the garden tractor. The thankful part is that it is not going to be the usual ten degrees when I do it. We may hit sixty today, and I may not need to wear a jacket while making the switch. Last year, like most other years, the snow blower went on in October. This has been a good long and mild Minnesota fall, and I am thankful for it.
