It is a nice day for a walk in the woods. Actually, it is a good day for a lot of things which may explain the whole thanksgiving thing. It was mostly clear and a balmy 11 when I wandered around for an hour or so. We had a few inches of snow last night but it wasn't really a photogenic snow but it wasn't too bad. These photos were from the state land across the street from my house. My house is pictured in the last shot.
I had time, of course, because I was in the midst of dinner preparations. The chicken (sorry, the smallest turkey I could find was 14 pounds) was brining, the everything else was waiting and I went and walked. The menu at "Chez Jason" is roasted chicken with tarragon, corn puddling, dressing and maybe I will make potatoes of one kind or another. I figured the pudding had enough carbs and it had the added benefit of being a vegetable. Sort of. Wine is served--I opened a bottle of a great red Zin that I received in the mail from good friends. How do you get to reach "good friend" status? Send a wonderful bottle of California red wine! I know, red wine and chicken. I guess the chicken will just have to get used to it.
So life is fine. I am most of the way through my laundry, my floors are mopped, my counter and table is clear, and generally the house looks pretty good. I will sort type--I have 17 pounds of it to sort, if you could imagine. Then I might even print something, though that will compete with shopping at 5AM for black Friday. NOT!!!
Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
