Thanksgiving in a Viennese Kitchen Sometimes She Cooks

It began innocently enough.
A cup of tea, watching a cooking show,


cutting six loaves of bread into cubes
for Thanksgiving's turkey stuffing,


when a sudden draft
sent a Japanese maple leaf


sailing through the air,
landing on my cup of tea!


The "Before" Picture:
I had picked up the leaf a couple of days ago
on my way to the grocery store,
and given it a place of honor
on my laptop

I am cooking Thanksgiving dinner as I type -
Thanksgiving in Austria is celebrated in September,
hence no holiday this coming Thursday
