The Color of Thanksgiving

Something often overlooked are the distinctive colors of the Thanksgiving season. They run the gamut of what's called 'earth tones,' rich browns, deep oranges, and dusky yellows....

But these seasonal colors are more than just a calm beauty to look upon. They evoke in us a recurring time of year when mankind harvests and stores up its abundance in preparation for the winter, and gives thanks to God for the bounty His Earth has produced.

And that, of course, is what Thanksgiving is all about, giving thanks for our abundance. An abundance not in just food or other material goods, but also family, friends, and faith.

So in grateful appreciation of our own abundance, we at Ben's Creek Nursery wish all our family and friends a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving!
