Thankful for Simple Gifts

Simple gifts I'm thankful for this season:

More serranos and jalapenos than I honestly want to think about- abundance gathered before the first freeze.

Jars of pickled peppers- some for eating, others to be given as gifts.

eucalyptus and bay trees brought inside for winter- outside in, freshening the air, brightening the home

citrus in bloom, despite grasshopper ravaged foliage- sweetly scenting the house

 

ginger infused honey on the windowsill- both seasonal relief, and tasty treat

leaves for the Thanksgiving Tree, to be signed with thoughts of gratitude and hung on simple branches- counting gifts of grace

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in you;
    I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.  Psalm 9:1-3

What are you giving thanks for this season?
