our Thanksgiving day...

it was partly sunny, but the wind had a bite to it...

DH wanted to make sure we got a photo of the blooming roses...

it's just so unreal...

we did a couple walks yesterday...

and ate and ate and ate some more...

the rail road came along this week and cut brush down along the tracks...

and left stuff like this...

and just piled the stuff up along the tracks...

they really need to clean it up...

it really was a wonderful day...

and I decided NOT to take photos of it...

I left the camera on the desk...

and we just did what we do...

just us...

Doug went home about noon today...

sent him a pile of food...

he enjoyed being home for a couple of days and we enjoyed us all being together...

and we all cooked together...

cleaned up together...

and napped, watched tv, walked outside...

we talked of Thanksgivings past and those not here...

and we talked about life...

but mostly, we were just in the moment...

and it was a very good place to be...

the guys planted about 100 spring bulbs this morning...

DH and Craig cleaned up the yard this afternoon...

pulled the tomato plants...

put up the hose...

it was in the 60s...

but colder weather is coming this next week and rain starting in tomorrow afternoon...

but we are ready now...

it's not the amount of people...

it's the quality of people...

hope your time was blessed...
