Humble Gratitude

I brought this stitch out of the archives as I thought the sentiment was extremely fitting after everything that has happened in the world recently.
We still have much to be thankful for.

The other day Padma and a young fawn had a face-off. 

At first the fawn appears not to notice the cat.

The she does, and comes in for a closer look.

"Who is this creature?"

Sniffing

Padma turns a cold shoulder.

But the fawn comes closer still.

Time for a retreat!

"I wasn't the least bit scared," says Padma Patel.

Cute finish and a lovely sentiment. Happy Thanksgiving!
Love the photos of Padma and the deer having a face off. Padma looks to have won even though there was a tactical retreat!

That is a great stitch. Those two sure came close to each other.

Such a perfect stitch for these troubled times, Beth! If only humans could get along as well as Padma and the deer...

What cute pictures of Padma and the deer! I think it is so important for all of us not to lose sight of our many blessings. Thanks for the reminder.

So glad she retreated instead of lashing out! I wonder who was more curious? ;0D
