iTexas Realty Co. Blog: Thoughts of Thanksgiving

My mother always said it was because I was born in November that Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, but in truth, I love everything about this time of year: 

It starts with such promise;

perfectly

at the end of an Indian summer that quickly begins to cool to the slightly crisp weather that makes you think of apples baking - hot and fragrant, bubbling over onto a cinnamony crumb top. 

The way that the fading sunlight hits the trees, magnifying the autumn palette: The greens, russets and golds of the changing leaves, some swirling through the air on a current made newly visible

Then falling to the ground where they crunch under my step.

Time always seems to go more slowly and in that, there is reflection on all those people for whom I am truly grateful.
