We celebrated Thanksgiving with friends and family. It was so nice to have our Thanksgiving Breakfast dinner in Franklin once again. I noticed during the month of November that several people would post on facebook something they were thankful for each day. I didn't participate in the festivity but each day I thought about how thankful I am to be caretaking our friends farm and what an experience this is for Tommy and I. It was our first Thanksgiving without Bennett at the table but we talked with him several times and he enjoyed his trip to Kansas with Jenny.
I am finding that I truly love living on a farm. I will be able to have a much larger garden, we enjoy the outdoor space and walking the fields, and of course there are the girls (hens) that I tend each morning and evening. A few of them have earned names, Matilda and Aurie...Lydia the barn cat is growing and greets me each morning at the barn door. I'm not sure how much of a hunter she is yet but
Extra guests....I have now encountered a possum twice...once in the barn and the other night in the hen house. I also have two ferrel cats that "drop in " on ocassion. They are both agressive and mean to our cat so they are not welcomed guest.
Christmas cooking....
The kitchen is always a happening place and I will be heading there soon for most of the day. Tommy bought me a pasta maker so we are enjoying the great taste of homemade spaghetti! It is time to get in to full swing of making Christmas presents...several of our gifts will come from the kitchen this year. I'm glad I have friends and family who like to eat...hopefully they will enjoy their treats!
We are planning to cut down our Christmas tree tomorrow. This is the latest we have ever been putting up a tree but as long as it is done by the time Bennett comes home for a visit that is ok with me. The rest of the house is decorated so we are on the home stretch.My request for Christmas is to wake up and see
SNOW!!!!!!!
