November

Alas! It is already the last day of November. I feel a bit guilty for not blogging hardly at all this month. ....well, I've written quite a number of articles but I have yet to publish them. That does not help my case though. And so, here I am paying homage before December dawns on us.
It has been a lovely month. Working hard most days. Some day, hardly working. I taped dried leaves that the kids and I collected onto a doorway like I do every fall. The reds and greens of Christmas don't last long enough so it's a fun way of saving a bit of color all throughout the winter.
Thanksgiving was wonderful. A smaller group of family and friends than usual, but it was such a joy. We were quite stuffed, satisfied and sleepy by the end of the day. Oh, and we made 14 pies!!! It truly was an accident... caused by over estimating the amounts for filling the pie plates. You wouldn't believe me if I told you the pies were gone by Sunday! ...no we didn't eat them all ourselves. Some were distributed to the freezer for Christmas and some were also taking to potluck on Sunday.
There has been a lot of deer hunting. My big brother shot two small does on opening day but other then that the critters were hiding well. ....no thirty point buck this year! =)
I was able to reflect on thanksgiving and made it a goal to post a different Bible verse each day on facebook that used the words "thank" "thanks" "thanksgiving" and "thankful" in their context. My dad's handy dandy Strong's Concordance came in very handy and I learned quite a bit by looking up all of those verses!!!!

I shall have to share them with you sometime.
Time is short.... and I am off, to go milk the cows and welcome in December. I hope your month was a lovely one.
