Happy Thanksgiving!

Much to be thankful for.

I got up this morning, opened the blinds on the windows and door that face the deck... the sun is shining and... almost no breeze!  This norther lasted 5 days, way longer than typical around here.  It was 3 days with no sunshine, but the cold wind didn't let up when the sun reappeared.  Getting out and about yesterday, we were still wearing coats.

A chilly start to the day this morning, 46º, but it should be upper 60s by afternoon.  That's still 10º or so below our normal temps for this time of year, but a nice break from the last 5 days.

The house smells good this morning.  Joan hasn't started on the turkey, yet, but she has fresh cinnamon rolls in the oven.  Just the two of us (and an incredibly sweet kitty), so she is planning meals the way we like: big meal at mid-day, turkey sandwiches in the evening.

It is great to look outside and see the birds soaring up and down over the canal.  With the strong winds, they hunkered down, too.

Time for the parade to start - Happy Thanksgiving!
