Happy Thanksgiving

Woke up about 6am and started coffee and the sweet potatoes.  It is now 8:45 and I am still the only one awake!  It is quiet and I am enjoying the peace.  Living here seems like a dream. I believe we will eat the big meal around 5:00 or so.  The turkey will take 4 hours.  Since it is just the 4 of us, there is no pressure to eat at a certain time.  Besides cooking, who knows what the day will bring.  There is a log down in the creek that needs to be cut up and moved. The run-in for the horses needs to get completed too.  Since we do not have TV, the day is ours to do what we will.  Shortly, I will venture to the barn and let the chickens out, as well as walk up the lane to get the paper.

I hope everyone finds something to be thankful for this special day.
