Thanksgiving!!!


Oh my . . . oh my, my, my . . . I am full!  If forced to choose, I would have to say that Thanksgiving is my very favorite holiday.  It has amazing food and fellowship (and it does not matter if we have twenty people or just us six, it is always wonderful), without the pressure of gifts and thank you cards. 
We had a grand total of thirteen people this year, and we spent seven delightful hours eating, laughing, playing games, and (of course!) more eating.  I am sad to say I did not stop to take a single picture; I was having way too much fun enjoying myself to step back and document things.  C’est la vie!
Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Disney Blues

We have been having a bit of Disney blues lately.  As of the tenth it has officially been over a year since we went to Disneyland, and there are no plans to go for some time to come *sniff*.  So, we plan on a having a very Merry Mickey Mouse Christmas to make up for it!  Details to follow as the season draws near . . .
November 10th, 2010.   
Our last night right after the amazing World of Color spectacular!

The Colors of Fall.

I love autumn; the warm sweaters, the crackling fire, the steaming hot chocolate.  But I especially love the warm and vibrant colors that grace so many of our trees and shrubs.
Summertime greens change into hot reds, vibrant oranges, stunning yellows, and soft peaches, creating such a dazzling canvas even Vincent Van Gogh could not enhance God’s delectable design.

Whoosh!!!

Ahhh!!!  “Time?  Here time!”  Seriously, time is passing at an alarming rate.  With winter looming around the corner, the “to do” list has become the “Urgent! Must do!” list.  I have pushed all the outdoor projects to the top of my priorities; thus far I have harvested the tomatoes (though I have yet to pull up all the vines), picked six perfect little pumpkins, and planted cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower.  Then to gather wood from around the property, organize and take in the recycle (this should be #1, thank goodness we have a big garage), and take care of the chickens we do not want to winter-over.
            Unfortunately, after running full steam trying to get something crossed off my yard-long list, the last thing I feel like doing is sitting down and writing about it; besides, does the World Wide Web really want to hear about tomato horn worms and chicken drama?  All I generally feel like doing at the end of the day is sitting down to a good movie with a bowl of popcorn and a cup of tea . . . and a few pieces of chocolate . . . maybe some cheese and crackers . . . one of the rules of being a night owl is you must eat at night!
            I digress.  The point of this post was to clear the dust from my poor neglected blog.  I started this blog for several reasons, one being that I wanted a scrapbook of all the important things that come along life’s road.  So on that note, I cannot believe it is already November!!!!  I need to get blogging and I need to pull out the pilgrim decorations.  Where did I put that list . . . ?
