Happy Thanksgiving

It's magical to walk on fresh fallen show, feel the crispness and almost a freshness to the air. About three inches of snow greeted me and family this morning while visiting my mother's grave. Philly had it's second weather event yesterday and last night with rain, sleet, and snow. I hope your day was enjoyed with family. 

Would have loved gourds and pumpkins on the table but you have to buy them early because I couldn't find any in the store, only Christmas decorations.

Nothing like corn bread in a iron skillet. It was delicious. Prepared by my daughter.

Do you make dressing? I normally also make the bread but today we just made the corn bread and bought packaged cubed bread. A Some stock, sauteed onions and celery, seasonings, and giblets and ready for the oven.

Fresh Sage

Fresh fruit and nuts. This is a tradition from my mom. We always had fruit and nuts.

Flowers for the dining room table.

And some for the living room.

It was a good day for a fire but my dad had oxygen and flames around it can cause and explosion. Maybe tomorrow while I rest up. Holidays are fun and a wonderful time with family but the preparation is horrendous. Couldn't have done it this year without my daughter. Thank you Sydney.

Added a nice tough to the bathroom. Had I planned I would have located a nice cache pot and removed the orange wrapper. No time for this today.
