Great Blessings

Thanksgiving Day would be a side-play

Minus the golden Pumpkin;

No feast is complete, if they have not to eat,

A circle of yellow Pumpkin.

Oh! the Pumpkin pie will ever out-vie,

Johnny-cake, pone, or corn dodger,

You don't need to chew, it melts like the dew,

When the sun shines bright on the clover.

~Mrs. May C. Hanks (b. 1842), "Pumpkin is Queen"

Summer's flurry

Of green is over,

Apples are ripe,

Mown is clover.

Colors, ablaze

On mountains, burn,

Smolder, and flame

As the seasons turn.

Harvest moon

Comes up at dusk,

Gold as a pumpkin

Or corn in the husk...

~Harry Behn (1898–1973), "Autumn," The Golden Hive, 1966

Thanks be for thee!

But whether we have less or more,

Alway thank we God therefore...

We have a beautiful poem from Margaret this Challenge called Autumn Serenade. Lots of cues that could take you in any directions, but of course, Autumn was mine!

This is such a fun image and can be colored to go with any Season. For mine, I used Fall colors as I always seem to be short cards for Thanksgiving!

Autumn Serenade

Through the trees

Comes Autumn with her serenade

Melodies

The sweetest music ever played

Autumn kisses we knew

Are beautiful souvenirs

As I pause to recall

The leaves seem to fall like tears

Silver stars

Were clinging to an Autumn sky

Love was ours

Until October wandered by

Let the years come and go

I'll still feel the glow

That time cannot fade

When I hear

That lovely Autumn serenade

Love was ours

Until October wandered by

Let the years come and go

I'll still feel the glow

That time cannot fade

When I hear

That lovely Autumn serenade

Serenade
