Working Toward The Holiday

Today I took a little time to enjoy the beautiful sunshine with the girls. We spent most of the afternoon washing and detailing our truck - it looks so much better now and is much cleaner and neater inside and out.

I've also been working this weekend on making my list for our Thanksgiving meal. So far it looks like we'll have a pretty traditional Southern meal: Turkey, Dressing, Gravy, Sweet Potato Casserole, Cranberry-Orange Relish, Spinach Salad, Homemade Bread, Cheese Ball and Crackers, Strawberry Tarts, Tropical Upside Down Cake, Lemon Meringue Pie, Iced Tea, Wine and Coffee.

A few items might change as the day actually approaches - especially if we decide we're more in the mood for one item than another.

Going out tomorrow to check on our cows and all the new little baby calves. Will also begin putting in the entrance reducers on our beehives to get them ready for winter. We've been having such warm days still that I haven't done this yet, but pretty soon the nights will start to get chilly.

We've also been raking a lot of leaves and putting them in our compost pile so we'll have some extra rich dirt for next year's vegetable gardening.

How's your weekend been so far?
