Dear Friends:

 

We celebrated Thanksgiving last week, not amid the bounty of the fall harvest, but surrounded by an abundance of spring flowers on an ecological farm in Uruguay.  We hope the attached photos will give you a little glimpse of this bittersweet holiday of embracing our new communities while also missing our families and friends back home.

 

With peace,

 

Kate and David

 

p.s. we also overcame the cooking challenges of making a turkey dinner without turkey and pumpkin pie without pumpkin!
