First Snow

We had a bit of snow yesterday, but more snow fell overnight. I just wanted to share with you a photo of our first snowfall - a bit of autumn and winter together! It might not last long but it brings to mind the old Thanksgiving song ~ "Over the river and through the woods".

I baked my pies yesterday ~ apple and pumpkin. I've also cooked my potatoes and squash. I am trying to do as much as possible so tomorrow can be "stress-free" - I hope! We will have a small gathering with just my BIL and mom joining us. My DS & DIL have to work, but they will be in our thoughts. (added later: So much for stress free - when I mashed my potatoes, they came out like wallpaper paste! They were so starchy. They tasted about as appetizing as wallpaper paste would, too. UGH. I will try again tomorrow. Does anyone have any cooking disasters to share to make me feel better??)

May you be blessed with family, friends and special memories on Thanksgiving Day.

I'm so glad that I noticed in your e-card (thanks!) that you have a blog. I'll come back often because I enjoyed both what you wrote and your incredible photography.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Hugs,
Glenna

Nice to meet you! Thanks for visiting me. Sorry about the potatoes! I remember thinking I was adding sugar to a loaf of bread and it was salt! GAG! That was awful. Or the herb bread that was so bad it had to be tossed also! I think we all have those disasters!
