THANKFUL MONTH....Day Seven

 

It’s Saturday and the start of the weekend for many. Unfortunately if you’re a farmer, you have no weekend as you work every day.  Today I am thankful for the farmer.  We all should be in fact. 
I need to clarify a bit on my THANKFULS for the future.  My list, I composed, are not only things for which I am thankful but also things I enjoy in my life; as you’ll see down the line. 
I enjoy wine; a semi-dry type. Lambrusco is a favorite of mine for a red; Moscato and Chardonnay for whites and of course I like a Sangria.  Personally I’ve really never tried Merlot or the Cabernet Sauvignon. Today is International Merlot Day.  I did my acrostic on the word Merlot.  Never having this wine I did a bit of research about it for the piece I composed.  The other acrostic a bit whimsical on a person deciding to have wine with dinner but not sure about having Merlot. 
It’s also BOOK LOVERS Day. I did another acrostic about being book lovers.  Seems I’m always lost in my books. Books give me exciting adventures that I’d never experience. Takes me to places I’ll never go. 
I hope you all have great day. 
Until tomorrow....Stay Safe.

        THANKFUL REFLECTIONS DAY 7 
Today my THANKFUL is for FARMERS who work day in and day out to give us the food we eat.  Whether they are dairy farmers, those who raise livestock or crops they are one of the most important providers to us. There is something I read years ago, ‘If you ate today, thank a farmer’.

Merlot is a dark red popular wine 

Even though it is second favorite after 
     Cabernet Sauvignon 

Robust and rich Cabernet Sauvignon, but 
      not Merlot 

 Of which can be comfortably paired with a 
    variety of foods

Then true wine enthusiast would know 
           this already

Might decide to have a wine with dinner

Every mentions Merlot as being good 

Robust is it? Dry? Fruity? Sweet? 

Let me research the answers beforehand 

Only then will I make the decision to indulge 

Then again, I may just order a beer

                (Book Lovers Day)

Books entertain me for hours on end

Oh so many books to read 

Opening a book I get lost inside

Know when I close it I’m home again


 Letting me visit places I’ve never been 

 Oftentimes experiencing things I’ve never 
        done  

Venturing out into another world or realm 

Every book brings a new adventure 

Reading keeps the mind focused and active 

So today I’ll begin a new book and see 
       where it takes me
