Thanksgiving morning

Over night the canyon received a dusting of snow.  Our house is filled with the scent of roasting turkey.  The table is set, ready for family and friends to head over the rivers and through the woods.  Best wishes for a Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving wishes

The scent of roasting turkey fills the house.  Mm, and then there is the anticipation of mom's dressing with apples and celery.

Mollie and I have returned from a crisp walk in the late autumn sunlight.  The ground is still covered in a layer of snow.  At the end of our walk we collected a log of split logs for an after dinner fire.

Other family members will be joining us soon, for food and conversation.  Here is wishing  you a day of warmth, good food, family and good conversation.  Happy Thanksgiving day!
