Thanksgiving wishes....................

I think Wilbur D Nesbit's words say it best.........

"Forever on Thanksgiving Day

The heart will find the pathway home."

Wilbur D Nesbit

Here's wishing that your pathway home will

lead you to a blessed and happy Thanksgiving!

November has arrived

I love to see the cottage smoke

Curl upwards through the trees,

The pigeons nestled round the cote

On November days like these...

~John Clare (1793–1864), "Autumn"

I love early November.  The days here have been so pleasant! 

I wish they would stay this way all of the time!  My husband, Sophie dog, Taboo Kitty

and I have been enjoying leisurely afternoon walks.  The wild brush is turning 

into a colorful canvas.

The mornings are very chilly and often covered with thick fog

My thoughts are turning to the woods where I want to 

start to work on garden spaces

The new banties have started laying the tiniest of eggs

yet, I still have vibrant and lovely zinnias in the flower garden

with whimsical creatures enjoying it all

My thoughts are also turning towards the holiday 

foods that I want to fix for our Thanksgiving 

gatherings. I am keeping the menu

simple with every one's usual favorite foods

but I am also going to make at least one 

decorative pie. This one is peach

and this one is cherry. 

We have wood stocked up for the fire place

and I am waiting on word from my children 

to see who will decide to fly home for 

the holidays......my heart is hopeful to 

see them all.

So tell me.........

how is your weather?  What are your Thanksgiving plans?

I would love to hear!
