Take This Tune

Jamie here's another Thanksgiving song to celebrate the holiday.



Lyrics

Count your blessings one by one,

When dawn appears and day has just begun;

They will light your heart with happiness,

Make each hour bright and bring your gladness.

Count your blessings one by one,

When twilight falls and toil of day is done.

And in sweet dreams they'll come again to you,

If you will count your blessings each day through.



Count your blessings while you may,

For we arc here but little time to stay;

All around are hearts sincere and true,

Lovely things abound just waiting for you;

Count your blessings while you may

The big or small, whichever comes your way,

For then you'll find this world a place of love

If you will count your blessings from above.

Join with Jamie and the rest of us to post for the meme Take This Tune.

Shadow Shot Sunday

Kissena Park, Flushing, N.Y.

Kissena Park is an ideal location to both relax and participate in fun outdoor activities. The beautiful Kissena Lake, flanked by weeping willows and shady trees, creates an idyllic setting to enjoy a sunny day. Stroll through the park to take in all of the lush flora and fauna and be sure not to miss the historic tree grove. The dozens of species of trees in the grove are some of the most exotic in the world. In fact, the grove got its start as part of a 19th century horticultural nursery for the New York region.

Visit Tracy at Hey Harriet for more enthusiastic participants in Shadow Shot Sunday.

Think Green Thursday

Green Your Holidays

No matter who you are or where you live, chances are you'll be celebrating during the holiday season. While this is a time of joy and family reunion, so many of us get wrapped up in buying gifts, planning and attending parties and events, or competing with our neighbors for the best holiday decorations. All the hustle and bustle can mean that we forget to consider our impact on the environment as we go about our holiday activities.

Let us help you plan an eco-friendly holiday season! Here are some simple ways you can make the season of celebration a celebration of the planet we all share:

• Travel Green. Thanksgiving and Christmas are two of the most traveled days of the year. There are many simple steps you can take to reduce your carbon footprint and travel safely. MORE>>
  
  
• Eat Green. Just because it's getting colder outside doesn't mean fresh produce and meats aren't available in your area. Check out some of our ideas for eating green - and local - this holiday season. MORE>>
  
  
• Give Green. The greenest gifts are those that are durable and easy to repair, recycle, or reuse. You can also help your family and friends go green by making responsible purchase choices. Check out our ideas. MORE>>
  
  
• Party Green. If you're throwing a holiday party, make sure you throw a green party! Your guests will be surprised and you may convince someone to throw their own green holiday party next year! MORE>>
  

Perhaps the most important tip is: don't stop your green habits after the holidays. With a little creative thinking and some healthy changes of habit, you and your family can keep giving gifts to the planet all year long!
