And our neighbor's ancient (as yet unidentified) tree sends pretty postcards by way of the wind. Some days it is so easy to be thankful. Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thought and Thimble: Possum Trot goes to Show & Tell

http://thoughtandthimble.blogspot.com/2011/01/possum-trot-goes-to-show-tell.html

He adores long conversations with small children, with the help of a good-natured grown-up, of course. Nap mat and pillow inspired by this Etsy seller. What you may not know Kara, is how dear Possum Trot was to my heart, because he made you smile.
