Abundant Thanksgiving Zazzle: Wordless Wednesday Writing Prompt ✏

On this Wordless Wednesday, we look forward to the wonder that is TurkeyTreatDay, Thanksgiving. We do have a writing prompt with a relaxed Lego below, but also a couple of other things to share. 
Our guest in this week's Word of the Week video is the kid lit superstar, Mrs. P! Click here to view her paw-some video. 
Neighbor Girl has created a Zazzle page for us, in her free time. She asked us to share it with you, and said that she'll be adding things as she feels motivated to do so. She won't let us visit the site - she said, "It isn't for the pets....blah...blah...blah." What is she hiding? Hmm...





Okay, back to Wordless Wednesday. 
Poem? Story? Haiku? Question? What does this picture bring to your mind? Join the fun by writing your thoughts in the comments below.
Happy Thanksgiving to our pals in the United States - we'll be enjoying our turkey blessings. We are excited to participate in Wordless Wednesday Blog Hops.We encourage you to visit them as well.Thank you to all of the fabulous hosts!      Thank you for reading and sharing,
