Or, I should say, a reason to be most thankful on this day of thanks. My brother and I grew up in this area, and as children, ran around our backyard whenever we could...that background being the local marsh.
Today, I get to share the same experience with my family. For that, I'm most fortunate.
This marsh is located directly within a city of about 60,000 people. It's a great place to go to and accessible within minutes from most people's homes. And why not go? There is always much to see.
Cardinals are still about...
A deserted bald eagle nest in the distance...always curious if it will be filled with a young family next year.
There is already plenty of ice about after the recent cold spell...
So with that in mind, I have to admit I'm thankful that such a resource is so close to me and my family. With my brother and his family moving back soon, I can't wait for our family to grow larger and appreciate this area with our children. Exciting times!
Thanks for checking out my post!
