Winter is Coming!
After the small snowfall a week or so ago...the temps have hovered in the 20's to mid-50's range.
All of my colorful leaves are brown and scattered throughout the yard and drifted in corners and against my patio arbor and numerous flower-pots filled with crispy remains. All of which are headed for the compost box to return as thick black Spring soil.
Planning a Cinderella Day inside...a Buttoning Down Day outside...then a hot bubble bath with candles...and maybe some more of the leftover feast...because it is there.
So much to be thankful for this year...family & friends...ENOUGH (and knowing what enough is)...love....and good food...good health...and the cats.
My new mantra
"It is always okay...there is always enough...and there is always something to be thankful for..."
*I think I may simplify this into my next tattoo
...always...
And put it on my wrist where I see it every day.
This week one of the things we are MOST thankful for is the end of John's chemo and ringing out!
Only a few more days of radiation...and hopefully we will have beaten this thing!
Soon another CT Scan and then an appointment with the doctors...we've a celebratory steak dinner planned (also his birthday) and later a Christmas Getaway!
You gotta have a plan.
Enjoying this long long food filled weekend. Turkey/ham and dressing and green bean casserole...and rolls....and pies and whipped cream...so much pie. The rest of the turkey now settled into a pot of egg noodles.
"Ya got anymore of that whipped cream???"

Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving Weekend.
Love,
