Thanksgiving Snow


We are having snow flurries. Seems appropriate as today is Thanksgiving which, in my opinion, is the start of winter. Yes, I know it officially starts on December 21 but some how Thanksgiving is the real start. Perhaps it's because in days long ago, one did not see Christmas decorations nor Santa BEFORE Thanksgiving. And Black Friday was the start of the shopping season. And the shopping for Christmas season started winter. Now we have been seeing decorations since before Halloween and there are every day specials to rival Black Friday. Go Figure!!


We are enjoying the snow - not sure if you can see it on the two pictures I just took. It's rather heavy but with temperatures in the upper 30s it probably won't amount to much (famous last words).
The turkey will go in the oven around 1:00. I made the pecan pie yesterday and the pumpkin pie this morning. The turkey will be un-stuffed and the stuffing made as a side in a nice serving dish (not stove top!) along with green bean casserole and I'm not sure what else. Cheese savories for snacks while we wait for the turkey to rest and I make the gravy.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL!!!
