It's not every year that I am on top of celebrating Canadian thanksgiving.. It's always more simple than that November one!
We keep it fairly simple. I had a free turkey so this year I made sure not to forget. Plus we could celebrate before Miles left!
Since it was a Monday, Miles and Duncan's friend Liam was at our house. He doesn't eat much of anything... but his mother's parting words were... Try everything!
He did... one tiny bite. Then he ate mashed potatoes and turkey.
He didn't even like pie!
We had a delightful conversation with the boys though. Although our life is nothing like we imagined it... we are very grateful for how lovely it has actually turned out. How fortunate we have been in being able to live the tranquil and serene lifestyle. .....
We were grateful for such little things and so utterly pleased with them.
*we adore our new nook
*we are ecstatic to be collecting eggs and watching the chickens and geese roam
*we love the Tin House
*We are eager to start filling the bird feeders for winter and watch the finches return
*we are relieved and blessed that all the wood is chopped and stacked in the barn for winter
*the boys were proud of their newly mended jeans... 9 pair of pants with ripped out knees... now all patched.
*we were thrilled that the boys school books FINALLY arrived after postal set backs of 6 weeks
*we are simply content and grateful
I couldn't help adding that I'd love to see more of the sunsets... but that just got me five sets of eye rolls.
Leftovers of course were more than welcomed. We had a fabulous turkey soup for days.
November is upon us and Thanksgiving is sneaking up again... The ranch has already decreed they're having Beef Brisket. I think I'll bring the brussel sprouts. I remember in years past all the veggies had sugar glazes on them, and the salads have cool whip.
