Happy Thanksgiving

In 1620 the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock.

They felled trees and built one room homes.

After the brutal winter where almost half the colony 

died they met a Native American named Squanto.

He shared with them the secrets of growing

maze, fishing, and harvesting maple syrup.

Soon food was plentiful an they began to prosper.

In 1621 they celebrated their successful 

growing season with a great harvest feast.

The men where sent out to hunt water fowl.

The Native Americans hunted five deer.

Surprisingly turkey may not have been on the 

menu as much as lobster might have been.

90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims 

took part in the feast that lasted three days.

 

The Pilgrims gave thanks and counted their 

blessings for their fortunate new friendship.

Much like the friendships I've made on this blog.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours

and thanks for stopping by!
