The Trowbridge Family Thanksgiving, 2013.

Thanksgiving is one of our very favorite holidays. We share our gratitude and connection with an ever changing group of family and friends. We gathered a group of seventeen this year ranging in age from 1 to 70.We chose to use our bowl of beautiful, glittering glass for a vibrant fruit salad. Just as we gathered around the table to bless the food and fill our plates, we glanced up and saw that the setting sun was reflecting back to us the colors in our bowl.This year we had such a bountiful garden that we canned the fruits and vegetables of our labor. Realizing we could never use it all before we start eating out of next year’s garden, we filled baskets with jars of jams, jellies, chutneys, salsas, and pickles and offered them to our guests as a parting gift.
