The First Harvest  can be  a time of suprises and unexpected gifts. This little photo is of some pumpkins that sprouted in my back yard in Los Angeles from an old Jack O’ Lantern that was thrown out onto the ground, many years ago. I had intended it to go’ back to the earth’, never realizing it would gift me with three little baby pumpkins that following year. So in this time of gratitude I remember that we never know what will become of the seeds we plant , or what gifts can await us, resulting from even the simplest of acts .
