the twenty-fifth

Frost burns off the trees early in the morning on the walk to the mailbox.
Ice forms in the peeper ponds out back in the tree nursery.
Jim shows off his new Green Bay hat and hip.
I look up the meaning of "cull" and eliminate mashed potatoes and cranberry relish from the Thanksgiving preparation.
We sit down to Thanksgiving dinner.
Cull: To control the size of the herd by removal; to collect, cherry-pick, select.
