Double Mocha Latte … my Christmas mug is the only mug that will hold my favorite double … that is fresh nutmeg on the top – YUM!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

YIKES … kind of redish sunrise but then…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And ultimately the day turned sunny!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We all got outside – YEA!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am not cooking a big, traditional dinner today … maybe on Saturday :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, today was a day to enjoy the sunshine and relax and be incredibly thankful for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emmett and Oscar and me all in good health,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Work and fun stuff and a wonderful home and property to enjoy all,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Cow!! I am beyond thankful for all :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it was sunny and not too cold (33F), I replenished firewood close at hand … it is supposed to get very cold and more snow Fri-Sat-Sun ???<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, though … sun (this is 11:30 a.m. and at 48 North, the sun is making a low pass vs Summer’s high overhead arc). Still … SUN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Throw WUBBA!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a lovely time outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkey dinner will be had on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is an Italian Garlic Pepper (black pepper) beef stew and some prep for Saturday: cranberry sauce, brioche for a leek bread pudding …<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As in past years I have devolved into a lazy-relaxed long weekend with the “traditional” dinner being when convenient and otherwise enjoying time without work constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

***to note … if you follow my Instagram … early November after a very warm October, we got 8 inches of very wet and heavy snow. That resulted in a significant amount of damage to trees in my woods … mostly the young Western Larch. It means a hefty and expensive cleanup this Spring … no use doing much now as the trees were very stressed and more are likely to break\/come down between now and late Spring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So … I am in “frugal mode” so as to be able to pay for the cleanup (heavy equipment, hauling away, etc., etc.) That translates into no RV trip … probably. I will see how things go. I have some local folks scheduled to give me advice on cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

RATS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT!! When I think about Florida post Ian and other disasters. All in all, I have it easy. My home is intact and my work is good, my health and pets health is good. Tally ho!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
