Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
There is no denying this has been a wild and wacky year, but I am thankful we are here and that you are here reading and living this adventure alongside us.
It used to be that I scrambled around the night before Thanksgiving, feverishly baking pies and letting them cool until I could barely even keep my eyes open. Over the last few years though, I streamlined the process and gave myself more time. No more pie chaos. However, this year, in a new town and a new not yet set up kitchen, I was off my game. When my first two pies were halfway through baking, I realized I had neglected to add in one very significant ingredient. Sugar. If you are going sugar free this year, and also have no taste buds, this pie is for you! But it is definitely not for me. Like eating baby food in a crust; gross. So, not everything went smoothly in my Thanksgiving prep, but nothing blew up or caught fire, so I’m calling it a win.
We aren’t having a big family gathering this year, but my parents made the trip to drop off all the comforts of the season, which is to say cookies, mashed potatoes, stuffing and pie WITH sugar(far superior). I am thankful for the Thanksgiving express.
There were a lot of hurdles placed before us on the road to this farm, and we have much to do, but I am thankful that we are here. I was able to look out the kitchen window this morning and see my very own horse snoozing in his pasture. I took my cup of coffee and strolled out to the barn where I said good morning to our two beautiful cows and our plucky flock of birds. All the while, surrounded by my entourage of cats(who are in fact scheduled to be picked up to receive full care December 7th). We are blessed!
In spite of whatever this year has placed before you and wherever it has caught you off guard, I hope this day is filled with blessings and you have at least a moment or two to bask in their joy.
Happy Thanksgiving.
Thankful for beautiful posts 💕
