Buon tacchino a voi tutti! (Happy turkey to you and yours!) May you be showered with blessings! Have you counted them yet? Here are some of mine.
I’m thankful for…
A bike on a flaming-orange wall
A saint in tawny sandstone
Beads that keep the flies at bay.
For palms that wave
Arugula that bites
And green grinning chairs.
And for you! For all the new virtual and real friends I’ve made on this blog! Have a great holiday.

I didn’t get to this post until after Thanksgiving. Can I still be thankful for the great photos?
Green–the colour of life and, according to some, the colour of the heart chakra which equals love. Clearly, you have a big heart and a great love of your life in Sicily. I am thankful that you share it all so colourfully with us on your blog.
Ciao louciao–thanks for that sweet comment. I didn’t know that about green (my fave color)!
Happy Thanksgiving Jann!
Grazie a te e tanto piacere a fare la tua conoscenza virtualmente.
We’re a Sicilian family living in Missouri and can’t help wishing to be living half the time in Sicilia.
I’m so thankful to have discovered your blog and I wish you tanti auguri e tante belle cose!
A presto!

Ciao Carole, thank you so much for dropping by the blog! Sicilians living in Missouri! Wow–you should start a blog about that!
(You share the last name of my favorite Sicilian ceramicist/artist.)
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your husband Jann!

Thank you Nur–sending a virtual hug to lovely old Istanbul!
Jann, As others have expressed, I too look forward to your blog with its remarkable photos that capture the beauty in simple things and cause me to see and appreciate more of the wonder and marvel of this world. With much to be thankful for, especially your friendship, I wish you and Kim a blessed and delicious day!
Love these images, especially the green grinning chairs! Gosh those would perk up a room in my home! Happy Thanksgiving to you!
I am thankful for discovering Ragusa Ibla this summer and getting to relive it on occasion via your blog.
Hi Wayne! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving in NYC–or wherever you are–and thanks for remembering our little stone village in the “wilds of Sicily.”
Grazie for helping us to see beauty in the seemingly ordinary. And for yummy recipes. Margo
Grazie for your wonderful blog

Un felice Giorno di Ringraziamento
