November often brings many changes; changes in season, changes in weather,
changes in the time on the clock and changes in chores required around the farm. The
one thing that doesn’t change in November is the arrival of Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving is our national holiday that brings with it “tradition”. There is something to
be said for tradition, especially tradition that brings comfort. Traditionally many would
find comfort in their ceremonies of giving thanks for their completed harvest. This year’s
dry weather should have facilitated an early harvest, allowing many to actually sit at the
Thanksgiving table instead of eating in their fields.

And one of the Thanksgiving traditions that is still prevalent today, is cooking and
sharing a meal with family and friends that includes turkey. In fact, The National Turkey
Federation reported that 90 percent of Americans eat turkey on Thanksgiving. Turkey
might be the star of the feast; roasted, baked or deep fried, however, some say pumpkin
pie runs a close second to the bird.
