It has been a day of rain and just enough chill to warrant a fire in the woodstove to hold the damp at bay and make our livingroom cozy. I have not accomplished much at all. I was so tired that I did not even roll out of the bed until 8:15 a.m., and I gave serious thought to staying snuggled in even longer, but I had some paperwork to attend to so Randy could go out at Noon to earn our bread, butter and doggie biscuits. :)

We are expecting no guests for Thanksgiving, so I'm going to thoroughly enjoy my whole week of 'holidaying' by doing whatever strikes my fancy. No worries, no stress, I do have a turkey breast thawing in the fridge; I have no idea when I will be in the mood to stick him in the oven. Maybe tomorrow :D. We have been invited to share a meal with some neighbors on Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, so I can be as lazy this week as I choose to be. ;D
I have machine-stitched the binding on a doll quilt that I hope to get in the mail tomorrow. I will share a picture of it after I have finished the hand-stitching. Then I want to just curl up with a book that so totally engrosses me that I am swallowed up by it and spit out in another land and time. It's been a long time since I've read a book that has captured and transported me. I've traveled to so many distant lands and times in my lifetime and never left the comforts of my couch or bed. :) My most favorite mode of travel...

What a lovely way to spend a holiday - according to your natural rhythms - resting, relaxing, etc. :) We still go to my mother's every year. My sister lives with her and is the primary cook, so there's not much for me to do, which is nice, but still - having the day to myself (without the family baggage) would be nice :) So that's what I'm doing today :) (The day after.)
Love the many pictures of your birds here, and your quilting. I'm not a quilter but I love them...
