Thanksgiving in the Mountains

It’s a winter wonderland here in New Hampshire, this cold Thanksgiving day. Somehow having the turkey cooking in the oven, slowly with the smell wafting through the house goes well with the falling snow outside. Needless to say I have not ventured out, but I have enjoyed my views of the white winter world from my windows.
Greta went out and dug in the snow until she found her ball and then proceeded to push it with her nose through the snow. Fritz jumps like a deer through it, and Hubby, is currently using the snow blower to clear the drive.
Yes, it’s winter in the mountains.
Our menu today consists of turkey, (naturally) chestnut dressing, gravy, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, peas and pearl onions. Dessert is plum pudding with hard sauce, and apple pie! Yum!!!! Over the next few days there will be turkey sandwiches, and I’ll make my turkey soup as well.
I just love Thanksgiving!!!

I was thinking of all the things I have to be thankful for this year. The health and love of my family and friends is, of course at the top of my list. For without these special people I would be lost.
Next I am grateful for my pets. Their unconditional love and light heartedness makes my days complete. I continue to be grateful for Shubi’s good health. and Fritz’s presence and for the special little love that our Greta is becoming, each and every day.
And last, but not least, I am grateful for you, my blogging friends. You all have added a new dimension to my life. Reading your blogs and having you comment on mine. It makes life so very interesting.
So to all of you I wish, A Very Happy Thanksgiving!!!
