Just popping in to say hi

Hi fellow bloggers, as everyone is probably very busy getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday, I hope there is happiness in preparing your feast, and great anticipation for visiting and spending time with your loved ones. We will be having friends over to spend the day with us, and I look forward to cooking and the company!

I went out for a little walk in my back yard, and noticed that the persimmons were ready to pick! They are so beautiful to me, in color and shape. Their brighter orange counter parts are also very lovely, especially when all the leaves drop, and all you see is the dangling fruit, making them appear to be ornaments. This is a fuyu persimmon.
I always love when the blanket of moss starts forming, it always reminds me of the softest emerald green velveteen.
Oh, who is this fall beauty? Caitlin is having a promotion for "Shabby Apple," over at her blog, go check it out. There are some darling dresses on their site. I think it is a perfect dress for Thanksgiving with its pretty fall colors.

Pictures of the feast will follow as usual! I hope everyone has a very, very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
