monday



After a bit of fumbling I finished the squirrel favors the night before Thanksgiving and filled them with dark chocolate truffles. I was thankful that my brother was here for dinner with us. The turkey and dressing came out great, the homemade dinner rolls were fresh from the oven, and we ended with pumpkin and apple pies with whipped cream.

We have been enjoying sunshine and temperatures up to 60 degrees, very different from the snow we had last Thanksgiving. I spent Sunday taking a long walk outside and gathering some pinecones, rosehips, etc. for making some decorations. I also need to gather greens for making my Advent wreath for next Sunday...this weather will not last much longer.
