This fall I’ve been reading books like Moccasin Trail, By the Great Horn Spoon and Across the Aprils to my kids. We are learning about the early pioneers and what they did to survive. I don’t know why, but their stories and travels remind me of fall. Maybe it’s the log cabins, roaming buffalo or majestic elk.

The Pioneers knew all about farm to table food…not just farm to table, but tilling, to planting, to farm, to harvesting, to preparing to table…food. Once they sat down to share a meal, they had earned the right to give thanks. Farm to table, pioneer style, reminds me of fall…of giving Thanks.
