Preparations for November 22nd have begun here at Thanksgiving Central. Hanging this garland over the table always signals the transition into the holiday season.
A new kitchen towel and Pilgrim Boy are in the kitchen. On duty.
Pumpkins have been stacked. Sure glad I got to enjoy my mums for about 10 days before we dipped down to 9 degrees this past week. I am torn between leaving them out there in their frozen state versus dumping them. I will show this photo to everyone as the "before" picture. So they can see how lovely they were.
Bittersweet has been hung wherever there is a spot for it and sometimes where there really isn't a spot but I make one.
I've had this garland for probably 8-10 years now. It was made by a local woman artist who no longer comes to the farmers market.
But because I have this, and hang it year after year, I continue to treasure her unique talents. Another example of the best kind of "making". This weekend I am polishing silver, making an apple bundt cake, planning out the appetizers, sweeping the porch, evaluating the state of my table linens to see if any holes need patching, cleaning the rungs and backs of the dining room chairs, and if there is any time left after that, I will see what kind of mischief I can get into. I was going to clean the windows, but Chris beat me to it.
Wishing you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving day...🦃🍂🍁🐿🧡
