I am thankful that it was a flat-out gorgeous day here in the Pacific Northwest and we went out for a 30 mile tandem ride, and saw gazillions of families with little kids.

I am thankful that my neighbor showed me the very large, really beautiful witch hazel plant she bought at the local nursery for 30% off (Ruby Glow, at Skye, for anyone who needs to know), because I am going to go buy one tomorrow.
