Daily Notes- November 24th. And I thought it was Saturday.

Muffy dressed for the weather.  Knit sweater and hat.  Corduroy pants.  Boots.  Dog.  Looks like she wants to go for a walk in the woods.  Collecting greens for some holiday handcrafting.

Daughter and her landscape co-worker when for a walk- with his collie.  A herding type dog.  Always trying to gather the two of them up.  Daughter is more used to the non-herding dog.  The adventure/full of surprises kind of dog. The kind of dog who goes off the path and then bursts out of a snowbank right in front of you on the path. Riley.   Or goes off with a new dog pal and the two return covered in sticky wet mud.  That kind of dog. The kind who can't wait to share his favorite mud hole with another dog.

It's Tuesday.  So I need to start doing Thanksgiving prep work.  The Chocolate Factory sent daughter home with an apple pie yesterday.  Last year they sent her home with one- and we found it to be very delicious.  So...we husband and I are pretty happy.  I now wish we had some vanilla ice cream in the freezer.

I'm going to make the boozy cranberry sauce today.  Jars and  jars of it.  So damned good.  I am thinking about baking the acorn squash today and wrapping them up and storing in the porch fridge.  The turkey breast is already cooked and in the freezer.  Just needs thawing and heating.  I didn't buy rolls.  We never eat them.  I do need to bake the pumpkin pie.   And the rest is just the vegetable sides.  Lots of vegetable sides.  Enough to last into and thru the weekend.

My Greenhouse Guy called this morning.  He has a 9 foot balsam tagged and set aside for me.  It's beginning to feel like the Holidays.  The only thing left to work on......the annual handcraft tree ornament. Any really good looking things on Pinterest????  I am not a member so I don't get to see much.  Let me know if you have seen something really adorable- in felt.  I have lots of felt.
